Confirmed from McWhorter 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.
Clean park featuring basketball courts and baseball fields along with a playground and picnic tables.
What runners say about McWhorter Park
“Always clean and so far seems to be very family friendly although my daughter did say the restrooms have been nasty everytime she's been there”
Nice walking trail. Feels like your in the forest in the middle of town. I think the trail is about 1 mile comes out at reel rd
New Basketball court rims are really stiff makes shooting off the 3 point line is about 2 feet farther 🙄 track should be fixed for smoother walks has potientaial just needs be attention to detail
Nice park. A lot of space to do things and have a great time. Good play areas for the grands, great basketball courts, and volleyball with sand is available. I love their walking trail.
