Confirmed from Cashman Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Riverfront park featuring a nautical-themed playground & a boat launch, plus sports fields & courts.

I love this park. There's a nice walking trail along the river that connects to the rail trail, plenty of benches and it's great for all ages. Plenty of green space to kick back for a picnic and watch ducks, a tennis and basketball court and a great playground with three areas for kids of all ages.
