Confirmed from Fritz Grupe 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.
Big, clean green space featuring playgrounds as well as baseball and tennis courts.

Such a beautiful park! All the trees are just beautiful! The baseball fields are nice, the tennis courts are nice, playground is always full of kiddos happily playing on it! There’s a basketball hoop, wall ball, a little work out area. So many things to do.
Still allowed to bring friends.Just make sure to be 6ft from any person or animal. Good park for dog walking and such. Not very crowded for a place to relax and take a breather. Recommend! Have a nice day!😁
Excellent park with great playgrounds available for children of all ages as well as a fitness area for adults! Plenty of trees provide a lot of shade and many picnic tables are placed throughout the park. There is also a Tennis Court and large baseball diamond.
