Confirmed from Osage 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.
Green space with 2 or 3 baseball fields, a playground and a gazebo with grills.
What runners say about Osage Park
“The fields are well maintained for the start of the season.”
Spacious park near the Falcon Park Rec center. Has a half-mile asphalt trail around some fields where you can just run around - or there are a couple of baseball fields. There's a gazebo with grills for a picnic. There might be sports teams playing from time to time. Good place to just get out and burn off energy.
It has a children's playground, 2 baseball diamonds and also makes for a great dog walking area. Well maintained and clean.
I love this park. I walk with my dog several times a week. 3 baseball fields, plays for kids, grills, water, and parking
