Confirmed from Heritage 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.
Large, shaded park with a train ride and baseball fields, as well as a playground.
What runners say about Heritage Park
“I mean people now a days dont clean up after them so I kinda get it but still its huge.”
“Great price for the train ($3 per person) and beautiful setting.”
My son was very happy to see the train go. Mini trains that run only on weekends seem to be popular with children. The spacious trail and two baseball stadiums inside are enough to stay for a long time. I highly recommend it.
Lots of trees, shaded areas, and an extensive walking path around the park. It gets very busy with little league on the weekends. There is also a small train that goes around the park.
What a beautiful serene place to go here in Simpsonville SC! It has 2 play areas for kids and several baseball fields! Even has a little train station there for kids and adults to ride ($3 3 &up). Has a huge amphitheater! There paver walking trails that walk around most of the place and plenty of free parking!
Wonderful place for kids to play. They also have a walking trail that older kids and adults can walk. Loved how clean and manicured the overall area was. Definitely would recommend this park if you are in the area.

- SurfacePaved — asphalt or concrete. Fast and predictable, runnable year-round, and fine with a stroller

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
