Confirmed from Parkland Recreation Area'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.
Relaxed park with slides and swings for kids, picnic tables and a BBQ grill. Picnic area. Playground.
What runners say about Parkland Recreation Area
“And the bathroom was surprisingly well-kept.”
Parkland Recreation Area in Hines Park is an inviting space fitting for children playing on the playground, baseball field, woods and bikers path give people so much to do. Additionally there is parking and barbecues available for folks looking to cookout. Swing on by and enjoy.
Picnic tables and shelters, wildlife, sports areas, walking and biking trails, but be aware this is a natural flood plane and often closes following sizeable or fast rain storms. Some indoor bathrooms. County sheriff does patrol the parkway. Long, winding roadway. Holiday lightfest in the winter.
Quick picnic or stop for fresh air slides for kids trails for walks and public bathroom!
Nice area to take a walk. Go ahead and get some fresh air. Kinda fresh air.......
