Confirmed from Granite Pointe 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.
Quiet, grassy spot with multiple play structures, alongside basketball and volleyball courts.

Quiet little park with lots to do! Sand volleyball courts, huge basketball courts. 2 playground areas, one for the little guys & one for the big kids. Great walking paths & landscaping is really kept up. Always clean everytime I visit.
Nice, quiet neighborhood park. Has plenty if shade trees. Nice toys for children. I like that it has 2 separate play areas for different age groups. Does not have water play.
Had a great time with my kid . He was running up n down everywhere couldn't keep up with him but it's a great park for anyone no matter the age lol jk but my kids enjoyed the time there
