Confirmed from Civic 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.
2 playgrounds & a water attraction for kids can be found at this park with a picnic pavilion.

“It's also big enough that you can always find a quiet little spot for reading.”
Civic park is very nice. Large grassy area with a nice playground. 1 part is for older kids connected to slides. Be careful as both sides are open and they could fall off. About a 10-12 foot drop….. They have trails. A nice pavilion Working separate bathrooms for men and women with 2 drinking fountains.
A wonderful place to enjoy summer fun with family. There is Alligator Creek which has lazy river, slides, diving boards. And the area for toddlers is absolutely fantastic. There are the cutest little sprinklers and the ground is soft or padded.
I love this park. The neighborhood is so nice and quiet. Mornings tend to be older people walking their dogs. Evenings are kids playing with parents. Super cute. Small park but enough space to get a good run/jog if working out is your thing.
My five-year-old grandson and I had a great visit yesterday at the park. Next time we will take his little bike they have a nice path for bike riding. He really had a good time however I was surprised they move the park and decreased the size however it's enjoyable to be out and that Park is very nice
