Confirmed from Inglenook 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.
Public park with a playground, picnic tables, and facilities for baseball, softball, and jogging.
What runners say about Inglenook Park
“Very clean and the people in the area that visit the park is very friendly.”
“Great Park, Huge play area, lots open space for dogs, ppl, trails to hike, BEAUTIFUL AREA!”
I have been going to this park since I was a kid! My kids now rate it a 10/10 and I still love it as well! I love the trail at this park it’s a nice size and you’re not taken to a faraway land and the playground for the kids is huge with many obstacles.
What a beautiful park. The plays are was amazing. The walking path was nicely maintained. I even seen two deer while I was walking.
A great park for walking(the trail is 0.62 miles around), there's a nice play area for the kids. A nice place to chill and have a small picnic. And if you enjoy working out, outdoors there's plenty of room for that. The only problem that I encountered was some deers on the trail, but they didn't bother me.
This is a very nice park for adults and children alike. There are baseball diamonds, a walking trail, and an amazing playscape for the children. There are benches to sit down and relax and the atmosphere. Atmoshere is very friendly, just a great place to be.
