Confirmed from Concord Cove 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 offering a playground, volleyball court, picnic tables, and baseball field, plus a swimming area.

Very beautiful park and walking trail along the lake. There is a yacht club , swimming area and also a lot of geese. They have lot of benches to enjoy your lunch/ dinner. The play area for kids is well maintained. The swing facing the lake is the best spot in this park.
Awesome, free, COVID safe family fun. Walk through the park on a well lit display trail. Campfires to warm by. Plenty of places to stop and rest along the trail. Kids and adults will love this Christmas event. Donations taken for Love Kitchen of nonperishable foods.
Concord Park is a beautiful place to relax. This park has plenty of parking, BBQ grills, a volleyball area, a playground, walking trails, and access to swim in the water. You may see kayaks and boats as well.
Loved this park on a sunny warm day (yes even in March 😉) Fun to walk/enjoy time on the swing...
