Confirmed from Glascock’s Landing Nipper 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.
Grassy riverfront space featuring memorials, history plaques, a fountain & a paved walkway.
What runners say about Glascock’s Landing Nipper Park
“Absolutely gorgeous and I love that they are trying to protect the purple Martin's they have many bird homes for them”
Beautiful place for walking, fishing, watching what floats down the river. Watch the tugboat's working with the barg's. I really like how the area was redone.
Lovely park for sitting and relaxing by the water. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't that much walking space.
Our beautiful riverfront park, a refreshing morning walk to experience the mighty Mississippi river
Located directly on the riverfront, Nippers Park has about a mile of handicap-accessible sidewalks and 25 benches with memorial plaques that overlook the river. Sculptures are installed including Liberte and a bronze sculpture of Mark Twain as a riverboat pilot.
