Confirmed from Jack Brooks 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.
County park with hiking & mountain-biking trails, an archery range, sports fields & a rodeo arena.

My husband and I decided to hike the bike trail today and see what it was all about. We loved this park! we met the trail guide/keeper, he was super friendly and helpful.
I've been here a million times and continuously find new things each time I visit it's by far the largest bike trail in the area I literally have to use my GPS to find my way out
Great place. Several different playgrounds, trails, and designated areas to practice sports. Not to mention the history.
Very lovely park. Has Everything. Hiking, biking, picnic, bar b q, playground, wildlife, veterans memorial.
