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.
Clean, family-friendly park featuring a basketball court, swings, shaded play areas and a playground.
What runners say about Kiwanis Park
“Great park, very clean and well maintained, great location, although it would be 5 stars if it had a bathroom but other than that, very beautiful park”
“The only downside is there are no shaded seated areas for parents so wear sunscreen or bring an umbrella.”
“The play equipment is not only safe but also diverse, catering to kids of all ages.”
Great place to take your kids to play. It is clean and you can even walk at night with your pets. The par has some picnic tables, you can see some ducks in the pond. It has a nice walking trail you can take with the family and pets. The play ground is in great condition. Great place to just sit under a tree and relax.
Great, safe park with lots of things to do and SWINGS. No bathrooms though so make sure you/kids go before you get there. There is a walking path, skatepark, basketball, and climbing structures. Lots of seating areas, including covered tables that can be rented for parties.
It's a very nice little park. There's a 1/4 mile walk around loop. There an harbor you can rent. There's a basketball court, single hoop. It's a very nice little park. I was jealous it wasn't around as a kid. It looked like it had some pretty cool stuff to play on too.
Lots of different things to do for the whole family. Not a small playground area for the kids its actually BIG with plenty of things for their amagination. Big walking trail all around the whole park. Lots of grass area for games etc. Basketball court. Covered tables to eat it. Swing sets. Tables and chairs.
