Confirmed from Frank's 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.
54-acre, community park featuring athletic fields, a playground, walking trail & open green space.
What runners say about Frank's Park
“Playground and beautiful pond with ducks and geese”
Great place to take the dogs to walk/run and Kids to play. Nice paved paths for walking which lead all the way over to the Spindler dog park and soccer fields. Play equipment and swings for kids. Small pond and creek for discovering frogs and things.
Great spacious park with a large field, playground with swings and small slides. A nature trail that's about 4 miles round trip. Definitely will visit again.
Big park with open fields as well as soccer fields. It has a paved walking path that goes around where the fields are and a non paved trail that goes through the woods and to a pond and small lake. There is a playground, a portable restroom,and plenty of parking spaces.
Nice fields for soccer and a walking track that's just over a half mile around. It's spacious enough for people to spread out and do enjoy the space. They have a cute playground that has a pond next to it.
