Confirmed from Duffy 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 with a baseball field, swings, and slides, and an annual fireworks display.
What runners say about Duffy Park
“The park is always clean, plenty of space to run around, lots of stuff to climb on, and the water fountain works.”
It was quiet and very clean. Although you can walk your dog, it has signs that dogs are not allowed in the park, so lowering stars.
Always a great area to walk and the people walking around the park are always friendly. If you drive there you will find plenty of parking. You will find children playing at the park, baseball games and football games. It is kept clean, well lit and inviting.
The park is always clean, plenty of space to run around, lots of stuff to climb on, and the water fountain works. Not usually crowded, either.
Excellent park however individuals walk dogs and do not clean up after them.
