Confirmed from High 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.
Clean park featuring a playground, soccer fields and baseball diamonds, alongside paths and picnic areas.

Beautiful park, lots of room, very safe nice place for a walk about and enjoy the scenery.
Nice park and miles of walking space. There is a lake that you can fish in. They have lots of geese and ducks. Hey also have several baseball diamonds and hosts lots of sports. You can rent out the meeting center and it’s pretty spacious. They have 2 playgrounds that stay pretty busy.
Beautiful park with paved walking trails, play areas, pond and fountains and shelters. A softball complex and sports fields. Lovely place to birdwatch or see a softball or soccer match.
I am new to Derby and was headed up to Chisholm Creek Park in Wichita when I made a detour and stumbled upon High Park. I decided to stop to explore and am thrilled to find a park with great walking paths and pretty scenery so close to home!
