Confirmed from Neumann 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.

Review Date: September 23rd, 2015 Neumann Park could be a neu park for you to visit. Neumann park is, but isn’t, your standard park. In a sense, it’s your normal park that has a playground, sandbox, and all those other goodies you expect from a park.

★★★★☆ — Joshua , Apr 2023

This park is located right across the parking lot of the Farm Park. This is a perfect place to have a picnic and let the kids run and play in-between your time at the farm park. You do not have to go to the farm park to visit this park but it offers a nice resting place away from the animals outside the farm park.

★★★★★ — Mike , Jun 2019

This ability park is wonderful! Our son has disabilities and is not as stable walking as others his age. But for several years, we've been able to take him here and it has been a wonderful place for him to play! When he was using his kaye walker, he was easily able to go up there ramps like all of the other kids.

★★★★★ — David , Feb 2020

This park is fantastic! My kids have so much fun on the playground. Another great thing is that there are 2 different playgrounds within a short walking distance of each other so you can really tire your kids out!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
