Confirmed from Dixie Farm Road 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.
Park featuring wooded hiking/biking trails, picnic areas, a playground & covered exercise equipment.
What runners say about Dixie Farm Road Park
“Kids playground areas, "workout" stations, clean bathrooms and nice long paved paths.”
“And yet, the neighborhood across the street is so beautiful, it is really nice to look at.”
“Overall great place for dogs, kids and shade with older growth trees.”
Great park! Just wish they had more parking and a designated bike path.
This park is connected to several others along a major trail that is 6+ miles. Great for bikes and walks. No four wheelers, or motor vehicles allowed. Dog must be leashed. Sadly the trail is gravel and not smooth trail so not good for skates. Overall great place for dogs, kids and shade with older growth trees.
Dixie Park has an outdoor work area and a hike and bike trail including a wooded hike and bike trail that doesn't show up on Google maps. Southbelt Hike and Bike Trail ties to Dixie Park trail. There are two other community Parks between these two parks, Bishop Park and Clear Brook City Park. Four parks in one trail.
This park has a 3 mile trail however, I suggest walking with a friend. There's a part in the trail that goes through the woods, it's all sidewalk but just to be safe go with a friend. Also, there's a part of trail that takes you over a bridge and there is always turtles.
