Confirmed from McCorkle 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.
Soccer, a playground, and picnic tables are offered at this park with walking trails.
What runners say about McCorkle Park
“Bathrooms are accessible to everyone as well and we're very clean.”
“Not many places for parents to sit, shade is a bit hard to find too, not recommended for summer hot days.”
“Great for spending quality time with the family in a quiet yet fun atmosphere.”
Great Park with a lot of ground for soccer and other games..many small rides for kid age till 10. A really nice trail connecting gahanna downtown and golf course. Great amount of parking and nice restroom availability. There is no shelter on this place
Small, but well-maintained, soccer park. Bathrooms on site and a playground for the little ones. There are also walking trails running alongside the park.
It's a nice park. I stop by for a little break while I'm walking the dog. Unfortunately the bench in the shade has disappeared.
I love it here, especially walking, ironically used to be where I practiced to drive. Just such a underrated park. So nice
