Confirmed from Henry Schmidt 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.
Municipal ball fields & tennis courts, plus a wall of fame dedicated to a locally famous coach.
What runners say about Henry Schmidt Park
“Public restrooms that are clean.”
Good park in the neighborhood with walking path, kids playground, tennis and basketball courts, picnic tables. Surrounded by apartments and houses.
I have visited all parks near about my residence. All are very good in one way or the other. Parks attract me for my daily routine of walking and for quality air and sunshine in a big open area. Parks are of great help and a must visit for the all round development of the children.
This park has great facilities. Lots of picnic areas with barbecue pits. It also has a great train play area for kids. It also has bathrooms. and it has a nice long dirt trail around the perimeter of the park. It has tennis courts and basketball courts too. And even has a fitness obstacle course.
Just stopped by to walk our husky Bowie.. Very nice clean park. Used the bathrooms which were also very clean... And the Ice Cream Man even made appearance with yummy treats....
