Confirmed from Kingsbury 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.
Riverside picnic-worthy space with a baseball field, tennis court, basketball court, swings and playground.
What runners say about Kingsbury Park
“Beautiful freshly renovated park, new playground, new picnic tables, new sidewalks.”
By the river, tennis court is super clean. A place to walk with the kids. They have a NEW improved park they just added. Come check it out. They even have a handicap swing that is in full function and honestly my 14 month old really likes it.
I love to visit this park whenever I take my regular walk or bike riding session and I do so frequently. I have a love for history and this is one of my favorite spots in Defiance to visit overall especially knowing how old this spot is and how it was important shaping the foundation of this town.
Great place to kick back and relax. Also a great place to run, jog, or go fishing. There's a public pool if you want to take a dip, barbeques if you feel like having a picnic, a baseball field to play or watch games, a basket ball court, and a tennis court. Your bound to find something to do.
