Confirmed from Clothier 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.
Relaxed park, popular with families, offering a playground and exercise equipment.
What runners say about Clothier Park
Nice park. I see a lot of people walking the track but the exercise equipment is in good shape & relevant to today. The playground has just enough for kids to be interested. Plenty of easy parking.
An almost exotic piece of land to find in the midst of independence Missouri. A fairly decent outdoor exercise area aimed at accommodation of the majority, encompassed by a satisfactory walking track and an excellent ensemble of jungle gym style equipment for the kiddos along with swings and basketball court.
Nice little park for kiddos 5+. The equipment was good, but it's a little difficult for younger children. Simple, relaxing go to area for some excercising or just to use some energy. There's a walking sidewalk path around the play area and the park.
Nice day has a great walking track. Kids can enjoy basketball court and swings. They also have a gym equipment outside. All the people seemed really friendly. I felt safe. This area looks much nicer it's close to the independence Power and Light offices that are brand new.
