Confirmed from Martin Luther King Jr. 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.
Public park with a splash pad and playground, plus a restroom and walking track.

Very beautiful park. Relay for life was wonderful. Setting up around the track was a great was to run, walk and participate in alk the activities. The band was fantastic. Wonderful group of people doing wonderful things !!!! The people responsible for preparing the field did a marvelous job as well.
Track opens at 7am. Has some stairs, not that steep. Has clean bathrooms. A great place to get your run on! Has a very nice kids play ground that opens I think at 10am. A splash pad, I have not had the pleasure of using it yet but looks nice.
