Confirmed from Davison Roadside 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.
What runners say about Davison Roadside Park
“Had our son's birthday party here and it was perfect, We had 45 people so great for large groups and the park was clean and safe for the kids.”
Great little spot for a quick walk. #tripawd @bigbentripawd loves it here.
Very clean. Permanent outhouse style toilets that stay stocked and mostly clean. Unfortunately, the closures on both handicap accessible swings are broken. The park is on the smaller side and geared for younger kids. There is no actual parking lot. My 4 and 5 year olds love it.
Good sledding hill for kids, right off the road makes it easy to get to. A little hike to get to the outhouse.
Trail conditions & character
“The park has a playground, pavilion, and restrooms with onsite parking.”
“A great hill for sledding in the winter also geared more for little kids.”
“Fine to bring your dog, but keep it on a leash as this is a kids' park, not a dog park.”
“Unfortunately, the closures on both handicap accessible swings are broken.”
