Confirmed from George H Eckstein 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.
Outdoor activity area with tennis courts, a baseball diamond & a soccer field, plus a playground.
What runners say about George H Eckstein Park
“Its clean, the grass is just right to sit and watch the activities, they have nice big restrooms, and a parking lot as well as on street parking.”
Nice place to stroll or picnic. Tennis courts and baseball field. Lovely oak trees full of birds and squirrels. Lots of room for kids to run and play in the grass. Fall is beautiful with the colors of the trees and falling leaves.
This park is handicapped accessible and has no play structure. It backs a school though so the school's play structure is often usable. There is a small woodland trail (very small) and then a shortcut right to the playground.
Lovely community park! They keep it clean and well tended. I enjoy the large shade trees and the clean tennis courts. It’s enjoyable to watch the community come together in use of the park.
Nice spot to walk out dogs. Well maintained and plenty of garbage cans to dispose of the pet waste. Only thing is the bathroom has run its coarse and needs redoing. But I know thats easier said than done. They are taking care of the restrooms as good as they can it looks like.
