Confirmed from John Stiff Memorial 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.
Large open space, mainly for organized sports, featuring soccer and baseball fields.

Very spacious clean organized n fun to walk around we only went to the fireworks display but it was great
+ Large, open, well lit, ample amenities and parking - Not enough trees, terrain variation, or humanizing points of interest This large park is mostly used for organized sporting events with the large sets of soccer fields and multiple baseball complexes.
I enjoy this park for walking and playing. The playground is great for little and big kids. 😉
