Confirmed from Fogerty 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.
Park boasting a playground and a splash pad as well as picnic tables and a barbecue grill.
What runners say about Fogerty Park
“The park also has very nice clean restrooms and a great little walking path.”
“The large trees provided plenty of shade and a breeze swept through the area.”
“This is a very nice park that is family-friendly and great to host a family event.”
Amazing little park! New playground as of 2017. A lot of different, neat equipment, not just the usual climb up to a slide or monkey bars. Great for very little kids too. My 1.5 year old navigated plenty of it just fine on his own. The park also has very nice clean restrooms and a great little walking path.
The new updates made to the park are really nice. Someone should have considered adding a few more parking spaces. Still overall a good place to take the kids to play on the playground, go for a stroll on the trail, or have a family picnic.
I stopped at this park to do some work tasks while outdoors. The Pavillion that was right off of a nice walking path was a nice landing spot. The large trees provided plenty of shade and a breeze swept through the area.
This is a very nice park that is family-friendly and great to host a family event. Also has a trail and a water play area. Lots of things for people of all ages. Seems safe and was very clean.
