Confirmed from Corrine J. Rose 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.

Vast park offering a playground, a splash pad and other features such as tennis and volleyball courts.

I had an amazing show for the 2022 Senior walk. The staff was friendly and helpful. The water park looks amazing and the jungle gym looks like something from ninja warrior 😆. My kinda town.

What an impressive park! There is something for everyone here. The playground itself is huge and has a lot of diverse options. There’s a splash pad with slides too! I’m not sure how much it costs to enter though.
