Confirmed from Day 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.
Casual park featuring play slides, a baseball field and a basketball court.
What runners say about Day Park
“Clean , kid friendly - 5 slides, a faux wood climbing/scaling wall, 10 park benches, a parent/infant swing (really cool, don't see many of these in parks!”
Our first time here since they fixed up the park and it is very nice! Clean , kid friendly - 5 slides, a faux wood climbing/scaling wall, 10 park benches, a parent/infant swing (really cool, don't see many of these in parks!) , large open space for the kids to run around.
I love parks to walk with my grandchildren but, all parks need restrooms. Please
