Confirmed from Kavala Ranch 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.
Park with a playground, basketball court, and picnic areas, plus trails and a restroom.
What runners say about Kavala Ranch Park
“It may not be the Triad Neighborhood's favorite or most popular park, but its remained clean and free of issues since opening.”
On the weekends, we walk between Anatolia and Kavalla. I’m grateful the park is well-maintained, including the bathrooms. It makes it very family friendly.
No bathroom. They have Basketball hoop.lots of grass. Bike trails at park.bbq pits.and some seating. Play structure really cool.
Awesome park at the end of a trail through open fields with cows that my Border Collies love to "observe." Clean restrooms too.
Good place to ride a bike... bring your kids and nice running trail. The only caveat...people don't pick up after their dogs!
