Confirmed from McCord 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 playgrounds for big and small kids plus soccer fields and a basketball court.
What runners say about McCord Park
“It has a short walking trail along pretty well kept yards.”
“Great park with some shade and a big open grass area”
Display is located in Indianola. Very good location for taking time with your Friends family. Display has soccer field, volleyball field, basketball field, and a playground for kids to enjoy. Also, it has a walk path along the park. I like it very much to be there with my friends and my family.
This park has 2 sets of playground equipment, one for smaller children one for upper elementary. It has a short walking trail along pretty well kept yards. There are 2 practice soccer fields, and a shelter house. The bathrooms are open in summer but not nice.
Nice park that is rarely crowded. Amenities include playgrounds for young and older children, A walking path, Soccer fields, restrooms, and a shelter house.
