Confirmed from Kolb 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.
Grassy park with a playground, ballfields, lighted tennis courts & a stone art installation.
What runners say about Kolb Park
“I have only been here once with my son, but from what I saw, the park seemed well maintained.”
“Playground has excellent activities and jungle gym for all ages, lots of grass and shaded tables for parties, sports courts in shape, and public restrooms are available.”
Clean and well maintained. Rarely have any problem with mischief or grafiti or questionable people/behavior. My kids love the play structure. Plenty of benches and tables to watch kids play. Large grassy area for playing ball or just running around. Great path that goes around the grass for running/walking laps.
Good park. Plenty of shade for sunny days. Some places in the field have dog poop.
Spent lunchtime walking around this nice sized neighborhood park.There are many seating options and tables throughout the park. There are two tennis courts, public restrooms, a large green space, and a big playground with families enjoying.
Love that they have a separate areas for small children and bigger kids. Play areas are covered in wood/bark chips. Lots of open grass area for kids that love to just run around. Nice little tables if you want to take a picnic.
