Confirmed from Pine Forest 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.
Spacious park featuring basketball courts, ball fields, a baseball field, benches and picnic tables.

Park is great for kids, has a play ground, large soccer field, bathrooms, basketball court, and 2 brand new baseball fields, might be making a walking path.
It's just a playground, basketball court and baseball field. They are nice, but no walking/hiking trails, no where to walk a dog.
There is a hiking area here but most of the trail has been blocked off and half is under water maybe about ten min total able to hike. No dogs allowed. It's tricky to find it was behind the playground. Good field to have kids just play in and playground was nice. Good spot for a picnic. Had bathrooms as well.
Great park with basketball hiking trails playground and clean Pavilions for group parties. Swing benches near the playground allow people to watch their kids, and the park all around is well maintained
