Confirmed from Hartkopf 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.

Lovely neighbor park with large open spa e and paved pathways for walking and biking. Located in a quiet neighborhood and has a tennis court, soccer field, baseball diamond and a playground. There are a couple of grills and a pi nice shelter and a smallish parking lot.
Nice park with plenty of space for walking, biking, soccer field and a two rim basketball court. * To the older people looking to play basketball, I wouldn't recommend this Park. It is over run with little Humans lol. Ie age 8 to 12 yrs
Pretty pathways to stroll and walk your dog. Beautiful large shade trees. Very clean. A nice playground, picnic tables, benches and a gazebo. Peaceful neighborhood.
Our favorite little community park. Never overly crowded, good baseball fields and thanks to my wonderful husband for harassing the city to get the tennis court fixed. Great path to walk the dog, most people pick up after themselves.
