Confirmed from Kelsey Scott 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.

Laid-back outdoor space with a playground, a disc golf course and a basketball court.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (166 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“There was no drama or people trying to crash and it was very clean.”

Disc golf at Kelsey Scott Park they have a nice track with 3 sets of tees per hole and 9 hole course. There are some tricky shots especially from the longest tees. So glad that we have this right in our backyard and it’s connected to Salisbury Greenway System.

★★★★★ — Keith , Oct 2023

Awesome park. There is a great greenway loop for bike riding. We rode for 30 min. Played by the creek and on the playground. Then scootered on the basketball courts. Great place for family fun!

★★★★★ — Krista , Jan 2021

This is a safe park to take your Lil ones to play, walk your animals, or to just park and eat. Very clean. They have port-a-pottys!

★★★★★ — Alex , Nov 2019

Ball fields, basketball court, playground, picnic shelters, and access to greenway for biking.
