Confirmed from Henry Barker Jr. 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.
What runners say about Henry Barker Jr. Park
“The playground part is very clean and big along with the field.”
“Such a fun and beautiful area, there is seating on a somewhat tall hill around the ball field and parking and a play ground on that same level”
Awesome clean playground. So much fun when we need a break from being at home. There were not very many kids there when we visited. My toddlers loved running in the big field and playing on all the slides. If your kids like to climb they will love this playground.
Great place for snow sledding and tossing snowballs with all the hills and little trees around.
This is a review for winter. When it snows here, this is the go-to park for sledding. It has a crazy steep hill, a medium hill, and a small hill for kids. It also has a small hill that can connect to the medium hill. There is a ton of sledding space so if it is crowded there's always space for more people.
Lots of to to run around. My kids call it the fish park because the play equipment is shaped like a fish. Always other kids there but it's never felt too crowded. Nice place to bring a blanket and have a snack or picnic on a nice day. Bathrooms were clean too!
