Confirmed from Ned Houk Memorial 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.
Tranquil open space with kids' play areas, fishing ponds, picnic areas & multi-use trails.

Every time I visit Clovis I enjoy taking a drive out here. This is a really nice place to go for a jog, a leisurely walk, or just enjoy the silence. There is fishing in multiple ponds, adequate play/picnic facilities, and plenty of hike and bike trails.
Had a wonderful time hiking with our two dogs. Saw lots of wildlife, Mule Deer, many different species of birds and butterflies, lizards, a bull snake even a dung beetle! The scenery is very beautiful right now from all of the rain, lots of blooming wildflowers.
Tons of fun! Two large areas with multiple playgrounds, cook out/picnic areas, fishing ponds, a basketball court, and a disc golf course (all free!!). The dirt bike/horse/walking trails at the east end of the Southern section are a real hidden gem. Just watch for snakes when it's warm.
Beautiful, well-kept park with many playgrounds for all ages, plenty of fields for activities, great area to run and exercise, and picnic areas all over. Love taking the kids here to play for a few hours.
