Confirmed from Felker 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.
This local park features soccer fields, a lighted softball complex, green space & picnic tables.
What runners say about Felker Park
Good. Has some good trails. Also boasts tennis courts, ball diamonds and maybe some other amenities but I was only there for the trails.
Words don't do it justice. Felker is an enormous multi-use park with a tennis complex, softball diamonds, soccer and rugby pitches as well as miles of hiking on the Marshland Trail system. My son and I take advantage of the enormous wide open spaces there to launch model rockets that we build.
Great for walking and mountain biking They have grasslands with wild flowers and a creek bed with a little pond it's nice opportunity to see wildlife and trails throughout the woods and grasslands There are park benches and tables throughout the park one of the best parks I have been too!
Felker is a good softball complex, tennis courts, shunga trails to explore. Youth football plays there. Not much for soccer fields anymore though. There are some goals but usually without nets. Basically a nice open field for practices or whatever.
Trail conditions & character
“It ties into other parks and has several offshoots of wooded and prairie trails.”
“The main trail which is a leg of the Shunga Trail is concrete and is popular with bicyclists, runners and rollerbladers.”
