Confirmed from Neff 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.
Waterfront park featuring a lake-view pool, a marina and a playground.
What runners say about Neff Park
“Clean and well maintained as always.”
“Gorgeous small park with a full size pool and an excellent kids pool/splash park.”
Small, nice and quiet park with a boardwalk perfect for a scenic water view. Proper signage indicating the requirement of residence.
Great community park. Has a nice pool that overlooks the small Marina. There's. Boardwalk to just watch the boats come in and the kayakers launch from. They have wagons and carts available right at the entrance of the park for easy access to unload your car.
I've been coming here my entire life to enjoy a dip in the pool, or a picnic with some family and/or friends, or even just to walk around the place and enjoy the view down by the water. It's a great place to visit, and I will keep on visiting for many years to come.
