Confirmed from Jaycee 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.
Green city park with tennis courts and ball fields as well as picnic areas and playgrounds.
What runners say about Jaycee Park
Truly impressive sports complex and park. Several soccer fields, several baseball diamonds, at least one football field, plus a well paved walking track with workout stations. The park has 3 or 4 part structures and plenty of picnic tables, some covered, some open.
Great park! Has dog park area tennis soccer baseball field picnic area and walking path. Love it
