Confirmed from Don & Susan Stillwell 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 a basketball court, two playgrounds and a disc-golf facility.

“It’s always clean, well-kept, and has plenty of room for kids to run around and actually be kids.”
“So fun playground has everything you love too play with,a beautiful pond, basketball court,bathrooms,baby playground it has everything check it out”
We love this park! It’s fenced in which is nice for kiddos. It has plenty of room to roam. You could play soccer, football, or fly a kite in the field. Their walking trail is very nice as well. They have a pavilion area with a BBQ that you could use.
Took my granddaughter and her friend to the playground. There is parking on both sides of the large park, depending on if you’re walking, playing at the basketball courts, or going to the playground. We used Google maps and it was accurate. There are several benches if you want to sit while the kiddos play.
Not too many people and not too much to see here but great spot for walking and getting in a few laps. Children's play ground near...small parking in gravel lots with a couple picnic tables close by.
This is my favorite walking park, all the walkers there are so friendly, abundant bird life ☺️. The park is so close to where I live Teresa village.
