Confirmed from Covered Bridge 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.
Clean, quiet green space featuring a basketball court and playground, plus walking trails.

A nice little park with paved paths, a few benches, some swings and basketball courts. I was holy they had a porta-potty restroom and some open parking spaces. I came to this park after looking for a place to take a walk on a sunny day. For the bill for my needs.
I'd call this one a hidden gem... I never would have known it was there. It's a good size little city park, tucked away where you could pass by a hundred times and never notice it. The name is misleading, as there is neither bridge nor water.
Really like this park. Its very clean and tons of space for kids to walk and run as they please. Also of your trying l To loose weight the very large trail that wraps around the park is great for a job.
Covered Bridge Park is a peaceful, beautiful spot with great trails, open space, and a calm atmosphere. Well maintained and perfect for walking, relaxing, or spending time with family. A true local gem worth visiting again and again.
