Confirmed from Pendleton King 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.
This 64-acre bird sanctuary provides a disc golf course, nature trails, playgrounds & tennis courts.
What runners say about Pendleton King Park
“Disc golf, tons of trees and grass and leaves, clean restrooms, a fantastic bark park for the doggos, and real trails to wander down.”
“The flowers are beginning to bloom and it looks like they've added more vegetation to attract some beautiful herons to the park!”
“favorite place to take the dog - shady walking paths with frisbee golf throughout but very beautiful.”
Multi-faceted park offering something for everyone. It's obvious this is a popular area, as you can see some signs of wear, but it is nicely maintained. As you enter, there is a gazebo which would be nice for gatherings, a picnic or shade.
Finally got to see this park. Walked my dog on the trail. It’s not packed, you can walk the trails peacefully while enjoying nature. There’s disc golf, a designated dog park and a small pond with ducks in it (watch out for alligators). Can’t wait til it’s filled with fall colors!
Excellent little hidden gem to explore! There is a large amount of hiking area, two playgrounds, a tank, several gardens and gazebos. Cute play to play and picnic with the family.
I love this park! Disc golf, tons of trees and grass and leaves, clean restrooms, a fantastic bark park for the doggos, and real trails to wander down. It's amazing such a great outdoor site is right in the middle of the city of Augusta. This is possibly the best time of year to go for a leisurely stroll here.
