Confirmed from Cliff Teague 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.
Park featuring a playground, tennis & basketball courts, horseshoe pits & restrooms.
What runners say about Cliff Teague Park
“Nice clean park to just walk around or walk your dog or to just bring a lunch like we did and sit at one of their picnic tables and enjoy the great outdoors”
“So I love this little home town favorite even if it is quite small it's quiet and very relaxing to just sit down and take in the nature around you.”
I was raised less than a block from this park in fact I was roaming the woods before it became a Park. So I love this little home town favorite even if it is quite small it's quiet and very relaxing to just sit down and take in the nature around you. And over the last 48 years it hasn't changed a bit.
I walk my dogs here every day . There's lots of trees and even a little woodsy trail and a creek . Playground , bathrooms ( warm months ) and grills with picnic tables . Lovely .
