Confirmed from Ella Harris Recreation 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.
What runners say about Ella Harris Recreation Park
“Everything about this park is clean and very well maintained.”
“Part of the trail is shaded in the trees although most is out in the open.”
Very nice recreation area with baseball and softball diamonds among some open fields. Two parking lots with ample spaces. Nice 1/2 mile paved walking trail around the perimeter. Part of the trail is shaded in the trees although most is out in the open.
Huge park!! Love the walking trail. 2 full basketball courts!! A baseball field, tennis courts, children play areas, swings, plenty of parking. Overall lovely park.
Very nice park. Has a decent playground for the little ones. Two basketball courts, a tennis court, a nice walking path. There are also baseball fields here. Plenty of places to sit and trees for shade on hot days. Good place for a picnic!
Beautiful park. It is a great place to go for a walk or jog. There are a lot of fields that are used for baseball and softball.
