Confirmed from Deicke 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.
This 28-acre park features an accessible school-themed playground, a baseball field & more.
What runners say about Deicke Park
“This park is well kept, well maintained, and well stocked with themed play areas for kids with a gated boundary to keep the kids inside.”
“Beautiful park, tons of activities for kids and places to relax.”
“There's also plenty of spots to sit in the shade for parents.”
“Fun place to spend the whole day for kids and adults of all ages”
Beautiful park with lots of trees for shade. The children's play area looks really fun!
This is a very clean park with a lot of playground space. There is a huge slide that is super fun for kids. There are lots of tables for picnic activities. We enjoyed playing and walking. It has many trails to walk around. Perfect to bring your kids to have fun. The only downside was the wind...
Our absolute favorite place around! The toddler zone is amazing, enclosed interactive playground with an abundance of activities. Other areas of the park offer plenty of green spaces, a pond, walking paths, few other play areas with play structures and sport fields, few shelters and picnic spots, even an outdoor gym.
Lots of parking for events and sports. Great trail system for active families. The trail is mostly unpaved with a couple steep hills not apt for toddlers with training wheels.
