Confirmed from Jake's Place 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.
Shady park equipped with slides, swings, a basketball court, and barbecue grills.

Excellent place to take the family for a day outside! With the new addition of a paved sidewalk all the way around the park, mom can walk/jog while kids play. Win win!
I really enjoyed this park! So much so that we went two days in a row. Tons of shaded areas, picnic tables, and three different play structures and an obstacle course. Something for everyone! Trails, pavilion and some bathrooms at city hall right in front of the park. Definitely go!
This is our favorite local park. Sometimes we wonder why there isn’t more people at the park when we’re there, but also not complaining. This park is super shaded. Multiple playgrounds for our daughter to play on. Momma takes a walk around the track with the stroller while the daughter and I play.
