Confirmed from Fletcher Heights 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.
Small community park with a shaded playground, tennis courts & open green space.
What runners say about Fletcher Heights Park
“Well lit men and women restrooms and it is always clean very well maintained.”
“Great location for parties of all ages!”
Great neighborhood park. I took the grandkids with their scooter and slider bike about 5:15 in the afternoon in late January. We were the 2nd of only two cars in the parking lot but within 45 minutes the lot was full.
I use the park as my midpoint while walking. I'll sit under a ramada at steel picnic tables and read. Pretty empty during the week but busy on weekends with parties. Restroom facility, climb-on structures for kids. It's adjacent to a basketball court at a grade school. In my experience, kept clean. Nice park.
Park just got a complete remodel! Lots of fun new things, but definitely an older kid park now. Best for elementary age, since the big play structure is not suitable for younger kids at all. Still a sand area which is fun for younger kids/toddlers! Plus lots of open grassy areas with trees for shade.
I am a personal trainer, and I cut my teeth training in this park 10 years ago. Facilities are clean, the park is well maintained and has a family feel. Safe for early morning walks, super pet friendly (watched some dogs play in the sprinklers this am), alot of room for multiple activities.
