Confirmed from Pershall 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.
Neighborhood park featuring a playground, tennis and handball courts, and picnic tables.

My wife, daughter, and I walk here everyday. The park is always clean and maintained and the people we encounter there while walking are always nice and enjoying this park as well.
I really enjoy the trail around the park. Field up top is large, perfect for a football game. The playground is well maintained and the the racket ball courts are nice. Only downside is the tennis courts need a serious overhaul.
Very nice pocket park with a trail, pavilion, restroom, tennis courts, basketball. Good trees Quiet. 5* related to a neighborhood park - not completed to Forest Park.
Great paced track to run/walk/bike on. Basketball, tennis and hand ball courts. Pavilion and playground for the kiddos! And bathrooms!
