Confirmed from Family 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.
Park with a fenced-off dog-walking area and a lake for kayaking and fishing.
What runners say about Family Park
“Nonetheless, off leash areas are really nice and well kept.”
“The people who go there are very nice and if you're a dog lover, you can get your puppy therapy here, no problem!”
The view is incredible for sunrise and sunset! There are so many of trails out here for walking, the dog park is extremely busy and the trails would be a good run spot for rhe pups!
Nice park area. Places for fishing. Walking area is new and takes you to Skunk creek area. Not many trees or shade. Nice restroom. This is my first time here for an event walk.
Awesome place for dogs. Awesome! At the moment though, the city is replacing the grass and it is fenced off. May i suggest some turf instead please? Tough to grow grass at an old gravel pit. Nonetheless, off leash areas are really nice and well kept. Places to swim for your fur buddy.
Right down from the Family Dog Park is the Family Park! Well kept and clean. The trail is easily accessible and bike friendly. The water was beautiful that day!! Scooby Approved!!! Enjoy the pics!!
