Confirmed from DeGarmo 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 park featuring 3 baseball fields and 4 soccer pitches, plus a playground.
What runners say about DeGarmo Park
“DeGarmo Park is always clean, the landscape is well managed, and there's plenty of parking.”
“Beautiful this time of the year!”
“My dogs love to run around, meet new dogs, chase a million balls and call it a day.”
“Took my six month old Golden Retriever for her first time at the dog park she loved it, so many friendly dogs and people.”
A very nice park to enjoy with your kids or dog. It has a nice walkway around the entire park if you want to do an enjoyable walk for the day. Tons of soccer and baseball tournaments happen here. A few times each year vendors come to the park to throw events. I highly recommend coming here.
Nice play to let your dog socialize and run around. I haven't had a problem here. My dogs love to run around, meet new dogs, chase a million balls and call it a day. Its clean here and people usually are pretty good about picking up their dog poop. If not there are free bags to do so.
We love this park! DeGarmo Park is always clean, the landscape is well managed, and there's plenty of parking. The play structures are fun, safe, and age appropriate. Our dogs love this park too! The dog park is gated so they can run loose and meet their fellow K9 friends.
Lots of room to walk, run, and play. Really nice and clean bathrooms that are easily accessible. There is a popular dog park as well!
