Confirmed from Persimmon 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.
Park with a playground, picnic tables and a baseball diamond, plus plenty of open space.
What runners say about Persimmon Park
“It is a really nice Park, clean and quiet.”
“Gorgeous, huge, green field the kids can run on, even picnic tables.”
“It is a really nice Park, clean and quiet.”
This is a great neighborhood park. LOTS of open grass, a decent size playground with a variety of swings, and a nice paved walking/jogging path. There are tables under a pavillion for picnics or parties. It's a great place to take leashed dogs, but there is no fenced area or dog park.
If you ever dream you were walking on great fields of green grass, you may have just been remembering this place..
Just beautiful , well maintained. My dog LOVE running. Large pavilion restroom water fountain.
Cute little park. There's a toddler playground as well as a big kid playground. Gorgeous, huge, green field the kids can run on, even picnic tables. Saving this so we can return with our family of five the next time we pass through the area.
Trail conditions & character
“The bathrooms were NOT usable - but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt since it was a holiday weekend, that it wasn't maintained because of that.”
