Confirmed from Edmundson 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 a playground with a rocket ship slide, plus a swimming pool and a dog park.
What runners say about Edmundson Park
“Beautiful property with a great golf course, and one of the best disc golf courses in the state.”
Nice park with a fishing pond, local swimming pool and small waterpark, neat wooden playground for kids, disk golf for young adults and many scenic places to relax quietly for older adults along with a 18 hole golf course conjoined. Not to mention the city bike trail also makes a pass through the park.
Edmudson Park is a beautiful place all year round! Especially in the fall with the leaves, or in the spring when everything is starting to bloom! You can walk along walking paths, play Frisbee golf and baseball! If you like to golf there's that too! Beautiful ride on a bicycle or a motorcycle!
We all grew up in this park. Beautiful property with a great golf course, and one of the best disc golf courses in the state. Great swimming pool and a dog park. The recreation trail goes through the park and provides an excellent view of the pond/lake. There are four shelter houses perfect for family gatherings.
Beautiful & decently maintained. Great place to go on walks for the whole family. Can't wait til it warms up a bit more. I love how open it is. Also, they got a great disc golf course & a water park too! Check it out if you're in the area!
