Confirmed from Henceroth 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.
Playground featuring swings, slides and equipment designed for older children, plus a wooded area.
What runners say about Henceroth Park
“Could use a little more shade but other than that overall beautiful place and a wonderful path to walk on”
Big open field, a lot of flowers, a rest area with pretty flowers and statues, it's right next to a neighborhood, there is a playground that's great for kids, there is a walking path that goes through the woods, not sure how long it is though.
Wonderful new park - place to walk dog. Doggydo bags dispenser is always filled. There's a family porta potty,?but I've not tried. But If it's important to have shade while walking when it's hot, go in the morning and evening. Really good parking lot. Very Nice playground unique climbing experience for kids.
This is a very nice park to go for a walk in. Playground has plenty of equipment for young children. It is a very large loop I'm guessing about the size of two football fields. There's a wooded area that you can walk through. It's a Memorial Park for military. So you'll find some statues and some Memorial trees.
This park Is great for taking the kids out to play. There is a very nice playground with rubber mulch. The City keeps the entire park clean and well groomed. There is a half mile black top trail with a trail thru woods. The memorial and American flag flying above is a nice touch. We really enjoy this park.
