Confirmed from David C. Driskell Community 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.
Sprawling neighborhood park featuring a playground and several sporting facilities.

This park has a lot of memories for me. I've been playing there since my earliest memories. Although the playground has changed, the spirit of community is still alive and well. I had the honor of attending the ribbon cutting for the renaming and it was just as warm and loving as it always had been.
Went today to use the tennis court. It was a beautiful day and lots of people were enjoying the park… setting up for events in the pavilions, taking walks, children playing. A lovely place to get some exercise, see nature, or even just sit and relax.
Great park with multiple things to do. They have large fields that kids can play soccer, football, etc on. Trails, 2 half courts for bball, tennis court, swings and a nice park for kids. Also a baseball field and swimming pool. All of this is in ome place, close proximity, great set up.
