Confirmed from Helen Randle 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.
Park featuring softball fields, basketball courts, and playgrounds.
What runners say about Helen Randle Park
“Beautiful park, well maintained.”
“Beautiful park on top of a breeze field.”
Nice park with lots of grills, picnic tables, and bathrooms. Plenty of shade and places to play games and run around. We love going on picnics here. It never feels too crowded, even on holiday weekends.
Softball fields, basketball courts, walking path... decent park, seems to have good maintenance, although the 4325 carpenter bees every year eating the wooden picnic area should be taken care of...
Home of Newtown Rock Softball. Softball fields, walking path, basketball courts and a public restroom
Trail conditions & character
“The only knock on the whole tournament was that they only had one bathroom that always had a line.”
