Confirmed from Hibernia 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.
Family-friendly neighborhood park featuring a playground, paddle boats, volleyball court and a lake.
What runners say about Hibernia Park
“Play ground is very well-maintained, there’s sand volleyball pits, swing sets, covered picnic area, and a really great splash pad that my son just loves.”
“We took a trail that led down to a gorgeous creek, running high due to ongoing heavy rains.”
“Cute quiet little park well-maintained little monkey bars for younger ones right next to a really cute large pond.”
Very nice little Park. Well kept, free of debris, lawn care beautifully up kept. Bring the kids, take the dog for a walk, or just take a walk around the lake.
1/2 mile walking path around the lake. Playground for kids. Splash pad. Fishing. Paddle boat rentals. Concessions. Pavilion rental. Great fun!
Awesome park and lake to walk around with a paved pathway. My grandkids love to come play in the park, watch the ducks, fish, and crane in the lake. No motor boats, and no swimming are allowed, but your dog can jump off the pier and swim to catch her ball. An overall very nice place to play, exercise, or just relax.
Nice family park with walking path around a small lake. Splash pad for kids is nice, too!
