Confirmed from Locke Ave 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 featuring baseball and soccer fields, a playground, basketball court, and picnic areas, plus trails.
What runners say about Locke Ave Park
“The playground is safe and fun, while the athletic fields are well-maintained and spacious.”
Awesome park! Great job taking care of this place. Peaceful. Love to walk the path when I am in town for work.
A great place to take kids, dogs or just walk around and get some excersize.
A variety of trails for walks and runs and an opportunity to catch magnificent sunrises.
Perfect playground for kids, a huge paved walking trail, and clean bathrooms. This is our go to park. It's always kept clean, the playground equipment is like new, and the trails are an added bonus.
