Confirmed from Kirvin 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.
Local park featuring picnic tables and a playground, as well as wooded areas with trails and a waterfall.
What runners say about Kirvin Park
“Please pick up after your dog and let's keep the park clean and safe.”
“The disc golf course is beginner friendly, as it is more open, but still presents a challenge to most players.”
“Let dog loves this place!”
This park has really grown on me. The front part is made up of a couple nice play fields and a small playground. The back part has a creek, nice trails for walking that you share with polite ATVers on occasion. The woods and fields back there are great and connect all the way to October Mountain.
This park is a wonderful, family friendly park. It has open fields, disc golf, basketball court, children's play area, trails, and a stream that flows through it with a table and areas for dogs. Easy to bring a stroller with you, but might be difficult to have wheelchair access through the whole place.
I was pleasantly surprised by the park. It doesn't look like much from the road but the have a lot to do. There are trails for walking or biking in the back, with several open fields, and disk golf it's a great little park.
Excellent spot to start your mountain bike ride. Play ground for the kids and huge area to walk your dogs. Please clean up after your dogs though!
