Confirmed from McKissic Springs Station 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 a playground, splash pad and covered pavilion.

This is a great park in Centerron, and although the lake is by a busy road (with a lot of traffic and noise), the park is a little further away. There's a nice stream that runs through the park, which helps you feel calm. There's a small water park and medium playscape for kids.
McKissic Park is a great place to spend the afternoon, even in winter. There is a Biba Playground (there's an app for that!) with numerous slides of various sizes, a climbing rope and wall, fireman's pole, etc. The playground also has rubber safety mulch.
There’s a covered playground and picnic shelter, walking paths, disc golf course, bathrooms and a splash pad.
It's a fun park with a beautiful stream running nearby. There is also a disc golf course, a pavilion with what appeared to be a birthday party in full swing. Obviously there are play things for the kids such as a splash pad and various playground equipment.
