Confirmed from Persephone 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.
Picnicking, barbecuing, and a kids' play area are offered at this small park.
What runners say about Persephone Park
“Quite and very peaceful not very many around when I go.”
Great park to shoot the breeze with the kiddos, or go for a walk. I love that it has very wide soace to throw frisby or play tag.
Nice quiet park. Trail and sidewalk around the perimeter. A pair of tables in the shade.
