Confirmed from Reagan 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.
A clean recreation area for families featuring a splash pool and playgrounds.
What runners say about Reagan Park
“There is a public bathroom even tho not very clean but nice to have.”
“One of its highlights is the shaded picnic area, which provides a great place to sit and relax, especially on hot days.”
Waster splash isn’t working when we visited in Feb 2023. Nice park for kids otherwise. Lots of room to run on those hills. There is a public bathroom even tho not very clean but nice to have.
Has walking trail, workout spot, a water spot for the kids, playground for kids, a tennis court, and I really need gazebo with some historical statue.
Nice place to walk around. My dog enjoyed it too. Fun seeing the old Reagan school where I went to 3rd and 4th grade.
