Confirmed from Dennis Scivally 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.
Small park featuring a playground, picnic shelter, and a stone bridge over a creek.
What runners say about Dennis Scivally Park
“As one of the sharpy artists aptly and courageously proclaims, the pit toilet is very clean and well maintained.”
“Small beautiful park with a small creek with bridge.”
“Small size park with lots of shady tree cover and a stone bridge crossing over a small creek.”
This park is very beautiful! It has lots of shade and space and is a great place for pictures! There is a small brick bridge, steps on a hill and other small picturesque areas!There is a small area for children to play and it's in a nice neighborhood! These are homecoming pics a few weeks ago.
This park was really cool bc they have a creek that runs through it that youre able to enjoy while standing on the bridge above, or walking the creek below. Not sure how far the creek flows but there are spots that are pretty decently deep and it seems to keep going in both directions quite far. There is a playground.
