Confirmed from East Kings Highway 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.
Many ducks swim in the pond at this grassy park with shade trees, a picnic area & playground.
What runners say about East Kings Highway Park
East Kings Highway Park is a wonderful park and playground. It was recently renovated after 2023 storms damaged the playground. There's lots of areas for little ones to play and run around. The park is nestled next to a pond, which is why the park is known to locals as "The Duck Pond.
The Duck Pond is always a fun place to go to. Many people bring their children out with bread, crackers, etc to feed the ducks. There is a very nice playground for the children, picnic tables, restrooms and a nice walking trail. #LocalGuide
