Confirmed from Kirby 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.

Kirby Park ... playground for kids, fishing dock, horse shoes, wazher pitching, covered basketball and recreation area, sidewalks to walk, jog, scooter, skateboard, skate or bike. There is something for every member of the family. This is one of my favorite parks and i am sure it will be one of yours too.

★★★★★ — Eli , Jan 2019

This is a very spacious area located on both sides of West 29th St. Besides the kids playground and covered basketball courts there is a paved trail. Soccer fields, baseball fields and more. I didn't get the chance to explore the whole place. I guess i could leave that for another day.

★★★★★ — Sigmond , Mar 2019

Great park for all ages! This is our second time visiting the park while we were driving through town. Our three kids love playing here! There are plenty of swings, slides, and even a sand area. There are covered basketball courts and open fields. Plenty of parking, bathrooms, and water fountains.

★★★★★ — Rachel , Mar 2025

This is a nice park with a couple of benches and a big field for running around! There’s a giant basketball pavilion with a couple of nets, and if you want to sit and watch your kids play on the playgrounds (both one for younger kids and older kids), a lot of the picnic benches are on a platform that looks out over…

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
