Confirmed from Fickel 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.
Popular park known for tennis courts and picnicking in the shade of its trees.

“There are two stone picnic tables, lots of shaded areas, and a nice tennis court (no lights for after sunset though fyi).”
What a beautiful day in a lovely little city! Lots of sunshine, plenty of shade, public restrooms., and tennis courts. I'm not sure if there is a playground, but there is an accessible path which runs through the park. We were there for a dog event and there was a plethora or furry, four footed friends - on leash.

Fickel Park is a great place. We often walk it. There are sidewalks all around & through it. Nice statues for viewing. From June-September there's a Farmers Market with local items. Great choices. There are also tennis courts. On Thursdays beginning in June, the Town sponsors a Farmer's Market from 4PM-7PM.
Went for the farmers market, but a lovely park right in downtown with lots of shade. Great place for a stroll or to sit and relax. Or enjoy the farmers market or multiple other events that take place here.
