Confirmed from Joe Stonis 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.
Small neighborhood park with walking paths around a lake, plus a playground & tennis courts.
What runners say about Joe Stonis Park
“The whole park is always clean, peaceful, and well kept.”
“Normally we come during sunset since the playground is too hot during the day, and the sunsets are beautiful as you can see.”
“I really like that the playground area is not on mulch and there are shade covers over the equipment.”
“Peaceful place quiet, pretty invite to came almos every day.”
Great park for all ages (1-12 years ish). Completely fenced in, beside a nice pond with fountain, and nice paths around the pond. Public bathrooms a quick walk from the park area (2 mins). Could use more shaded areas - the structures (and kids!) get quite hot in the sun.
I love this park! My dog and I walk there nearly everyday. It is gorgeous, clean and fun. It’s nice to watch the pickle ball players, ducks, birds and friendly people.
I love this park! It has exercise equipment, a nice trail to run or walk, tennis courts, cute gazebo to have a picnic or a small birthday celebration. Normally we come during sunset since the playground is too hot during the day, and the sunsets are beautiful as you can see.
It's a beautiful park with a pond and walking path. The playground area is covered and fences in. My family always enjoys trips to Joe Stonis Park.
