Confirmed from Commons 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.
Outdoor recreation area with facilities for basketball, soccer, tennis, baseball, and a playground.
What runners say about Commons Park
“The park is clean, spacious, and has something for everyone.”
“Commons Park is absolutely beautiful after the recent updates!”
“It has an orange shade roof over it and the whole section is sunk down to achieve this.”
“The new playground is modern and fun for kids of all ages, and the splash pad is a great way to cool off on a hot day.”
The major overhaul is mostly complete, featuring an all-new large playground and splash pad, with additional amenities around the main building such as seating pavilions and flexible green spaces. There are also 6 pickleball courts, a volley ball pit, a basketball court, and multiple soccer and baseball fields.
Commons Park is absolutely beautiful after the recent updates! The park is clean, spacious, and has something for everyone. The new playground is modern and fun for kids of all ages, and the splash pad is a great way to cool off on a hot day. One of my favorite features is the rolling hills.
Very nice playground area. Tons of green space for soccer, football, ultimate, and running around. There are a few softball fields near the playground as well. The bathrooms were locked but I'm guessing they're open during the late spring, summer, and early fall seasons. There isn't a ton of parking.
It's huge and has both a baby and a toddler play area. There's lots of hills to run up and down. It's a very fun place even for grownups. People play baseball, soccer and basketball at this Park.. FUN..
