Confirmed from Kenneth W. Bernard Community 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.
Spacious park offering playing fields and paths for walking, biking and dog walking.
What runners say about Kenneth W. Bernard Community Park
“Still no public restrooms, but there's a great view, nice trails, cute area for fishing (try the derby in May!”
“It has alot going on,fishing,trails,athletic complex on the other side ,so u can enjoy the quiet peaceful water setting(there's a damj?”
Great outdoors! Super for well behaved dogs without a leash if you go at less popular times Rough paths got though natural vegetation and pleasant streams bubbling over rocks. Highly recommend for big-dog people, or folks that just want to get alone in the country for a real farm (rather than park-ish) feel.
Love the area!! It has alot going on,fishing,trails,athletic complex on the other side ,so u can enjoy the quiet peaceful water setting(there's a damj?or small retaining wall on 1 side) and a bridge you drive over as well as fish under if you want..it really is neat with it being a very well rounded park .
I love the space h3rr, it's great for flying kites and letting the kids run on the sidewalk and trails. I've come to really enjoy the trails actually. I've never done it but it seems you can fish here too. The playground area satisfies my kids even thought they don't have swings.
It's a really nice park with fishing ponds, bike/walking trails, playground, dog walking area, soccer fields. Downfalls include no swings, two port a potty(one by fishing area and one by the play area, and possible no drinking fountain.
