Confirmed from J. B. Owens 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.
Paved and unpaved trails for hiking, running and biking in a wooded area with a playground.
What runners say about J. B. Owens Park
“They loved it I loved how clean it is the bathroom are so clean will be coming back 😊”
“But there are swings for all ages and a walking track!”
Awesome park. Great playground and fun mini waterfall just down the trail. Popular park so it's definitely crowded. But there are swings for all ages and a walking track! Parking is tight but wasne an issue the last time we were there.
Had a lovely mother's day picnic in one of the pavilions. We walked along the trail and over the bridge through the woods. It was very peaceful. Met a wonderful dog named Zeus. There is a great playground for kids.
Loved this park so much! I specifically went to this park because I saw there was a creek. I have a 2.5 year old and he had a blast splashing in the water! The playground was very nice and there was plenty of seating such as picnic tables and benches.
On the surface this park is pretty small and quaint. But if you take the paved trail past the playground and off to the left you'll find a pretty extensive trail system that makes for an invigorating morning or afternoon run. There is also a nice little stream and waterfalls that the kids love to play in.
