Confirmed from Evergreen Playfield'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.
Public park offering athletic fields for baseball and tennis, plus a playground.
What runners say about Evergreen Playfield
“Parking lot is a full circle so bigger vehicles and trailers will have no problem getting in and out, lots of garbage cans to keep things clean and tidy.”
“The playground is great for all ages, and the dirt field next to it is perfect for burning off energy.”
At the North end of the complex, there's a sliver of a park and playground sandwiched between a parking lot and a ball field. The park area feels surprisingly cozy despite how it's situated in relation to the road and parking lot.
Lots of choices to do here. Baseball fields, tennis courts, wooded walking paths, an adorable fun filled playground for the kiddos, picnic benches. Parking lot is a full circle so bigger vehicles and trailers will have no problem getting in and out, lots of garbage cans to keep things clean and tidy.
Awesome place to fly our rc helicopters and plains. Lots of room and well maintained. Great to have a picnic or let your kids run our their energy. We just need summer to come back. Lol
It's a great field for soccer and running but it gets rented out by teams a lot so sometimes you cant use the nets
