Confirmed from Kiwanis 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.
Recreational area with an 18-hole disc golf course, a lighted softball field, and a playground, plus a skateboard half-pipe.
What runners say about Kiwanis Park
Another course conquered,well front 9 anyway. Decent play some trees, wooded OB,elevation and tall grass Islands to make things fun. Go left on the sidewalk after 4 to get to holes 5&6
Pretty decent park, nice ledges to ride and mellow kickers. 5 foot half pipe, 6-7 foot quarters facing an incline with a kicker between. Ground is smooth, ramps are smoother.
Love walking the bike trail through this park. Very spacious and ideal for an afternoon picnic.
Very nice park that's where I get my excise I jog walk my dog and play Disc Golf
