Confirmed from Fitzpatrick 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.
What runners say about Fitzpatrick Park
“It is beautiful,you can fish, take a walk on the railroad tracks & there is a great waterfall.”
Small, but there's a pond to fish in, a playground for the kids, can walk around the track circling the baseball field. Great place for pictures.
Very cute park, hard to get to but nice to stop by. There is a small pond you can walk around, as well as two small "dams" that will give awe to kids. On one side there is a small foot bridge where im sure people cross and fish on the other side.
Decent place to walk or run, take the dogs, or take kids to play on the playground, as for fishing, over the past 10 years turtles have taken over, you can still catch plenty of bluegill though.
Great place to spend time with family, take your dog for a walk, go fishing, or let the kids play on the playground!
