Confirmed from Jones Box 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.
Relaxed park featuring a playground and walking paths, plus a basketball court.
What runners say about Jones Box Park
Good place to go walk at dawn. After that, theres too many pedestrians. Park is right next to a canal, just in case you like to look at a bit of nature. Playground for the kids.
I really like walking in this part, the bad thing is that there are many people with dogs leaving poop everywhere, they should make only one route for the dogs.
Grew up going to this park with my family. Made awesome memories there. Would also go for running which is so nice. :)
It's a very open space. Great for dog walking, going on runs, having a cook out, or just simply enjoying the view.

- Stroller / wheelchairReported as smooth and step-free enough for a running stroller or a chair.
