Confirmed from Red Bird 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, play equipment, and a jogging trail are featured at this public park.
What runners say about Red Bird Park
“The park also has lovely handicapped accessible bathroom facilities available, very nice and clean.”
“Calm place for a nice walk, quick workout on their machines along their walkway, and a playground for the kids!”
I absolutely love this park. It's nice and mostly quiet. Everyone is doing their own thing, minding their own business while either working out or playing with their kids at the park. I especially enjoy the workout equipment along the walking path.
Calm place for a nice walk, quick workout on their machines along their walkway, and a playground for the kids! Also has a free library where you can donate books and also take books to read. Did I mention they have restrooms? Yes!
Nice place to take an afternoon walk while your children play at the park!!! It’s beautiful place to have a picnic or just hangout with your kids
Nice park! It's not too crowded so you can do walking, jogging or running without any problem. And there's a nice playground for kids!
