Confirmed from Newman 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 city park featuring a playground, a pool and a splash ground with vintage-style equipment.

“Really nice park for kids to play, but needs water fountains and more shade”
Really nice park for kids to play, but needs water fountains and more shade
This is where I walk the track.The track alone is a quarter mile.So four rounds makes one mile, they have workout centers and two splash pads for little kids.The city pool's only open during the summer.And we are literally a stone's throwaway from the nolan county coliseum, it's an amazing place.
Nicest park in town. We only pass through Sweetwater, get sandwiches & take the here for lunch. Always a shaded table available so far.
This park had a great playground for toddlers and older kids (the sign says ages 2-12), and a great place to walk a dog on a leash!
