Confirmed from Falcon 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.
Relaxed, shady green space for kids, featuring a playground, swings and a sandpit.
What runners say about Falcon Park
“Bathroom building looked rundown, but overall it seemed clean.”
“Beautiful park, nice little picnic pavilion.”
“I really like this park, minus the playground doesn't have a shade cover, like most parks do.”
This is a small park that manages to pack a lot into one area. There's play equipment that's appropriate for little and big kids, a sand pit, swings, a picnic shelter, and a nice walking path. My 3 year old happily played here for an hour and a half.
Very nice and simple park for families. Has a little walking path with decent shade. Covered picnic area, baseball field, and restrooms. Good park for small children with two different playset, sandpit, and swings. Since the big tree went down there is less shade during the hot months.
Went to a birthday party out here. Had a great time. They have a wonderful large covered picnic area. Lots of space for the kids to run and play games and multiple playgrounds for small and bigger kids. Benches to sit and watch the kids play and shady trees to sit under. Not sure if there is a bathroom out there or not
An oldie but a goodie, we love this park for its play areas and field for running, with a sidewalk around it for scootering. It’s not as spread out as some, which I really appreciate for watching multiple children.
