Confirmed from Fairbanks 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.
Spacious park featuring a dog park, boat docks and playground, plus trails.

Beautiful park on the banks of the wabash river in terre haute. Grounds are well maintained with a few structural points of interest. Easy to walk around.
Fowler Park overlooked an incredible view of the great Wabash River. The scenic docking areas and walkways provided myself and my family with overall exceptional trips Everytime we have stopped. There are pavilions and also an outside theatre area that you can enjoy as well.
Very nice park. Has swings and playground for kids. Very spacious and even has a trail to walk on. The view of sunset during the right time is very nice, it is well maintained and clean.
