We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Frank Skillman Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Frank Skillman Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

really liked this park its a nice open space without too many people most times i went so easy to chill and let my kid run around without constantly watching over them views of the water are pretty too we just sat on one of the benches and couple stops for a bit even though we didnt bring any snacks that day way…

★★★★★ — Swinderman , Jul 2026

Nice little park, my kids like running up and down the little grassy hills.
