Confirmed from Ed Yerha 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.
Wooded recreation site with 3 pickleball & 1 basketball courts, a playground & picnic tables.

Small neighborhood park. Love the sandbox because it's the cleanest out of all the parks we've been to. They have a soccer field, basketball court and tennis court. Saw some adults pass by on bikes so I assume there must be a bike trail nearby.
Not the most intertwining park ever but they have got three pickleball courts if your into that. It has a playground, shelter, basketball court, and a trail which leads into the white oak Creek greenway.
What a wonderful trails. Our family enjoyed it. It could take forever to pass all of it but you definitely should come here. One way ends on American Tabbaco trail and another will bring you to Bond park. Take your bike or stroller or just walk. Enjoy beautiful trees,views and sounds.
