We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Kiwanis Bacon Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

The park is awesome baseball diamond. There is a basketball court plenty to do. Two full family size pavilions restrooms clean plenty of open space frisbee golf also, which actually there is a course on Hendrickson park a vary nice one.

★★★★☆ — Jeffrey , Jun 2023

Cute little park, great set up for little ones birthday parties. Baby swings are far away from the rest of the play ground which was inconvenient. The trail is good for going on with smaller children to identify some plants. Honestly, it's the smallest trail I've ever seen.

★★★★☆ — Brittany , Nov 2021

Great park with a range of options for all age groups and accessibility. There's new equipment and a nice walking path It would be really great if people wouldn't vandalize such a beautiful park.

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.
