Confirmed from Dave King 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.
Community part with 4 lighted softball fields, a playground, concessions & restrooms.
What runners say about Dave King Park
“Extremely clean, well maintained and two year old friendly equipment brought all smiles to my daughter tonight!”
“The grounds are beautiful.”
Was watching a few of my granddaughters play softball they are 3 different teams and 3 different age groups. But they have a concession stand with your ballpark foods and drinks and candy's.
There are multiple playgrounds, picnic tables, softball and baseball fields, public restrooms and over a mile of paved walking trail next to the little duck river. I prefer doing my walking at old stone fort but when it is full of visitors, I go to Dave King Park.
Nice facilities. People got there early to set up tents for shade etc. during tournament. People about 3 tents down brought a huge generator but plugged it on by our tent. It was so loud and annoying that we couldnt carry on a conversation There should be rules on generators.
Dirt infields,grass outfields..pretty deadly lip where the dirt/grass meet if youre a softballer/baseballer. I believe theres a trail around it, pretty nice setting..well tried gives feelingbyoure isolated but very near all. Concession stand/bathrooms are at the 4 fields
