Confirmed from Jim Warren 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.
This park features a variety of sports fields, plus a playground, fishing pond, skate park & trail.
What runners say about Jim Warren Park
“The tennis courts here are well maintained and excellent lighting is available in the evenings.”
“Beautiful, well maintained fields- hats off to the grounds crew working between games.”
“Trees lined between the fields so you could watch the games without needing a tent canopy.”
I caught this 3 pound large mouth bass in September of 2106 in the afternoon. There are plenty of 2-4 lb. bass in this pond but are not easy to catch. They get spooked easily so walk gently along the bank. Cast soft plastic lures like a "stick worm" parallel to the bank.
Jim Warren is a small park very near to the Johnson Elementary and Freedom Intermediate Schools. The play area is pretty small, but kids would love this place. It has pretty wide open space for adults to walk around. The space has a small pond with places to sit on its banks for enjoying a lovely evening.
This is a decent park, good trails, artificial pond with a nice operational fountain. The park has a good functional Play area. Ok parking, there is a make shift restroom, not maintained and definitely requires attention. There are huge rocks around and back of the park there is skateboard practice zone.
Large park with paved trail surrounding green space, a play ground, and a small pond. Large, enclosed skate park with huge bowl, steps, rails, and ramps. Helmets required, pads recommended. Open 7 am to dusk. Rules state only skate boards and inline skates, no scooters or bikes. All were there.
Trail conditions & character
“The bowl is 7' deep in the shallow end, waterfalling down to 11' deep with ~10' transitions in the deep end, all metal coping.”
