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.
Family-friendly park with a disc golf course, trails, picnic tables, a playground, and a splash pad.
What runners say about McCord Park
“Very well kept and kept the grandkids interested.”
“As an added bonus, you'll find access to the light gravel lake path if interested in a longer and more scenic route.”
“This is an awesome park with a great shaded path that weaves through an 18 hole frisbee golf course, jungle gym, slides, splash pad, 2 dog parks, and open grassy areas.”
Nice playground for kids. The trail is also flat and easy for them. I visited around 5pm and there was plenty of shade from the surrounding trees.
Splashpad - You will get wet so be prepared! Dog parks, nature trail, bird watching, and play area for ages 5-12. It's super cool!
