Confirmed from Germania Springs 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.
Relaxed park with swings and slides, along with a creek for cooling off and a dog park.

Cute little parking, a nice stream, and plenty of green space to run and play.
It's got stuff for all.. doggy park, play ground, clean bathrooms,Creek water we all can walk in.. picnic tables just beautiful. Took this pic of my dad he loved it it was his 1st visit ✌️💙😁
Beautiful small park with multiple outdoor activities available. There are baseball fields, softball field, football/soccer field, picnic shelters, a playground for the kids and a small little path next to the water to stroll on. There is a small dog park area with a couple of agility equipment pieces.
I love going there regularly. It’s a great resting spot if you’re riding your bike on The trail.
