Confirmed from Kneeland 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.
Grass-covered park with a playground for kids, a fenced-off dog area and a basketball court.
What runners say about Kneeland Park
“It is clean with bathrooms and lots of grass to run around in.”
Cute playground park to bring the kids to. Big wooden play structures over gravel including a "Tot Lot" with smaller structures, a slide and swings. There is a separate big kid swingset that has a tire swing. Lots of green grass to run and play on. Picnic tables are scattered throughout. There is a restroom here!
The mango Chumoy drink from the vendors are well worth the 6 bucks. Try it. Very large and spacious playground with ample parking and walking sections. Grassy field, b ball court, public restrooms and lots of jungle gym space. It's always moderately filled with younger kids, maybe toddler to pre teen.
This is a great park for kids. My nephews and I had so much fun. The castle play area is really cool and fun to run around on. The only thing I don't like is I can't bring my dogs with me and I take them everywhere.
This park is wonderful. Big enough for all kids to play including babies and pre teens. It is clean with bathrooms and lots of grass to run around in. Dogs are not allowed in the park area, however there is a off lease dog area for your pets to run and play as well.
