Confirmed from Fun Junktion'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.
Paved, 1.5-mile trail in a family-friendly park with playgrounds, basketball courts and a splash pad.
What runners say about Fun Junktion
“The bathrooms were clean, but could use some new fixtures paint on the outside.”
“As you wind your way to this park you wonder where it's leading but once you get there you see a modern, safe, and fun space for kids and families of all ages!”
Great park to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Toke my pup and 12yo kid and we all enjoyed ourselves. Pup and I walked/jogged the path.
Nice place for some good, free family fun. Walking trails, catch and release fishing, playground with water spouts for the kids to cool off. Covered shelter with picnic tables to sit and watch the kids.
The park was nice and clean. It can get hot to touch but the little playground for little toddlers is shaded. Great play options with big and little playgrounds, splash pad, sand yard, swings and musical area. It can smell sometimes depending on weather due to the garbage disposal site.
What a great place for the family. This place is a good example, of how all Parks/recreational areas should be like. It is always clean. Love their walking area. The children have loads of fun with the playground equipment, and sprinklers, when available.
