Confirmed from Granite Civic 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.
Kid-friendly area featuring a playground, a baseball field, basketball courts and tennis courts.
What runners say about Granite Civic Park
“Clean and safe if there was one thing I could complain about is that the tennis lights don't work consistently.”
“There's a playground for all ages”
I like the playground here for kids. They have picnic tables, a sand box, tennis court, basketball court, volleyball court, outdoor obstacle workout area, baseball field, grills, water fountains, jungle gym, paved small walkway trail, and single restrooms with flushing toilets.
There is a nice trail a small creek. They even have little poo bags so you can clean up after your pup so they don't have to stay home. There's a playground for all ages
Nice and clean park. Features shelters, walking area, volleyball court, tennis courts, baseball field, and a big enough playground area for kids to enjoy. The park also has restrooms for anyone who might need them under the main large shelter.
The kiddo love coming here. Swings, slides basketball, plenty of area to run around and get out some of that stored up energy! They have tennis courts if you play. Plenty of parking.
