Confirmed from Independence 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.
Kid-friendly and clean park for kids of all ages via swings and slides.
What runners say about Independence Park
“Very nice and wonderful place for outing Well maintained Very well maintained restrooms The kids aying area turf is excellent”
“It has a great size play structure with play areas for kids of all ages.”
I really enjoyed this park! It’s different than most parks we’ve been to but Alot of fun. Would be a great place for a birthday party. Also has an open field to play in or fly kites. And this adorable goat that will walk right up to you and is super sweet! He’ll just let you pet him.
Always a top park for our little one. Plenty of things for her to try, even at 14 months old. Goats on the side fence add a nice touch of animal viewing. The trail around the park also is nice to take when there are too many people on the playground.
Great park, all the kids and parents are nice. The equipment is clean and engaging for toddlers to big kids. My kiddo loved seeing the goats on the adjacent farm. Nice walking trail and picnic set up.
Independence Park is a large, spacious park that’s perfect for families, gatherings, and anyone looking for plenty of room to spread out. There’s lots of open grassy space to walk, ride bikes, throw a ball around, or simply enjoy being outdoors.
