Confirmed from Paul Sanborn 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.
Small neighborhood park with a picnic pavilion, basketball courts, a playground & walking path.
What runners say about Paul Sanborn Park
“There is also a restroom for the moms 😁 The walkway with the palm trees is quite lovely and nicely maintained.”
“This is a nice mostly shaded park, but if the whole thing (swings) could be shaded, that would be great!”
“I have a one year old and there was lots to do with her, there was also older kids playing so it's definitely a park for all ages.”
This park is very nice and well maintained. They have a little of everything as well as public restrooms and plenty of places to sit and relax. Apart from a well covered playground they have a basketball court and other games like horse shoe.
This is a nice mostly shaded park, but if the whole thing (swings) could be shaded, that would be great! There are multiple options of structure equipment and it really is a nice play structure. There is a pavillion with picnic benches we eat under. I did notice graffiti the last time I went and that bothered me...
Very nice, clean, quaint park. I have a one year old and there was lots to do with her, there was also older kids playing so it's definitely a park for all ages. There are bathrooms and a water fountain and benches.
Clean bathrooms and very nice playground, small trail, pavilion, plenty of seating and basketball court
