Confirmed from Energy 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.
Quiet greenspace featuring a walking trail, swings and playground areas.
What runners say about Energy Park
“Had great time with my family nice park great swings especially safe clean ones for the babies!”
“A nice quiet little Park where deer Rome among you.”
Good park for the kids to run around at. They have a basketball court and baseball field. Two sitting areas one with a brick fireplace you could definitely cook food on. No stand alone BBQs (not saying you can't bring your own, just saying there's none located in park).
Nice playgrounds for kids. It also has a walking path that goes in a circle. Each loop is half a mile for those tracking their exercise.
Love this sweet park. It's got a fantastic walk trail. The park is just a nice place to spend time at!
Nice walking path around the park makes for an excellent place of outdoor enjoyment for all ages.
