We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Parks & Recreation Administration yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Big park featuring playground equipment, various sports fields, picnic tables and a frisbee golf course.
What runners say about Parks & Recreation Administration
“Well maintained, clean park with friendly staff”
“I love this Park, it's beautiful with all of the Awesome Crosses around and the big rocks and streams, great for walking my dog April!”
Extremely nice park with multiple sports complex areas. Nice softball fields and baseball fields. Very large and great area for tournaments. Also has frisbee golf course that is very nice. Great areas for walking. Also a fantastic place to take outdoor photos. Has some really nice features.
We visited Imagination Station to attend a bday party. The Sportsplex has always been a great place to visit whether you're playing or watching sporting events, walking trails, attending car shows, Octoberfest, or taking a family picnic.

It's a large park with lots of room for walking and lots of squirrels if you go in the right time of day. The military exhibit area--tank, chopper, etc--- is nice. Could plant some fast-growing, low maintenance shade trees in and around dog park and keep that area up a little better to make it more hospitable.
