Confirmed from Ferguson Grove 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.
Walking and picnicking park where dogs are welcome.

Family friendly park a lotta elderly people walk their dogs there people rideTheir bikes on the paved sidewalk that runs through the park very shaded nice picnic area
Beautiful little park! Hidden away in the center of town; very quiet neighborhood as well. Perfect place to go walking your best friend or yourself around the paved walkway circling the park. Lots of trees shrubs and flowers. Even a pretty little nostalgic arched wooden bridge on the walkway.
An oasis in the middle of the city. Lots of folks seem to enjoy brisk walks through the spring foliage. Also located on the property is a free library box where people can exchange or simply take books for enjoyment. Always consider these locations when clearing out your personal libraries
Nice park to take kids to play, has a couple playgrounds, nice walking trail, a pavilion with BBQ grill, restrooms and lots of room for kids or dogs to run
