Confirmed from Kiffmeyer 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 featuring a playground, baseball field, and picnic tables, plus a walking trail.
What runners say about Kiffmeyer Park
“This well maintained park has a nice walking trail that leads to a ball field, tennis courts, and streams to cross over.”
“A beautiful park to walk and enjoy the creation, with towering oaks and a bubbling brook, it is a peaceful and delightful place for reflection.”

This is such a beautifully kept Park. A great place to have a gathering with friends and family. It has a part for the kids, beautiful flower entry, grilling availability, walking past, and bathrooms. Whoever takes care of this part does and an amazing job.
Clean facilities, green, lush weed free grass. Kids love playing barefoot in the park. Paved tree lined trails and kids playground equipment too! Love the bridge crossing the stream.
Kiffmeyer Park is a great place to bring children to play at the park or down further at the baseball field and tennis court. There is a building with electricity, tables, and a fridge usually open for the public, but can be rented out for birthdays, graduations, or others events.
Beautiful park, well manicured, with nice playground, nice paved walking trail, surrounded by trees. Pavillion was nice, total enclosure, power and kitchen facilities. Picnic tables and big windows. Small, clean but adequate bathrooms( with real flushing toilets and running water).
