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.
Park with a playground and picnic tables, plus swings and slides for kids.

“I love to bring my puppy's here during our walks Great place to have a picnic definitely very hidden and quiet great place to come and read a book”
Enclosed neighborhood park. Has a playground and plenty of space to run. To enter this area you must go down the colorful stairs!
Nice ans quiet Park. Perfect to play with balls and let the kids run. Nice little playground.
It is very nice there just needs a bathroom. It is a very nice place for children to run and play, no worries of them running out in the street. The sign says it is for children for 2-5, my granddaughter is 7 and still has fun there. It is great if you live right by the park you can just go home to use the bathroom.
Sweet and very cute park very hidden. My dog and I went out for a walk and this park was open. Although fires were not that far from here smoke wasn’t that bad.
