Confirmed from J.B. Sandlin 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.
What runners say about J.B. Sandlin Park
“Beautiful, quiet, fabulous walking area.”
It's located in the Thornbridge neighborhood and there is tons of open space to play. There is a playscape with 5 slides, 4 swings and plenty of stuff to run around on. It is connected by sidewalks to the John Barfield trail so it's a great place to take the kids on a walk.
A lovely park. We went at dusk and little guy was able to play until the sun went down and it got too dark to see the playground. But the gazebo stayed well lit with the nice soft lights. 😍 It was quiet and peaceful for us. And he wanted to walk the trail all the way across the nicely lit bridge.
Very nice, small park in a neighborhood. What I really like is the walking trail that goes by the park and along the creek.
Small playground if you have children. Safe neighborhood. Connects to a much larger walking trail.
