Confirmed from Reed-Harvey 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.
Popular park with playground facilities and a splash area.
What runners say about Reed-Harvey Park
“It's very clean if you don't include the duck droppings lol, I am photographer this place is perfect for family portraits Pics for Less Photography”
There are really nice walking paths with a lake, creek, multiple bridges and ducks! My only compliant is the complete lack of shade near the play area. Much of the kids' play equipment and the one metal bench become too hot to touch on a sunny Alabama summer day.
It is a nice little park. It was clean, quite, and grass well maintained. The ducks and geese, oh and the pelican that flew in, were all added bonuses to our nice walk. The ducks are friendly, they walk right up to you.
Went to the new splash pad on a Sunday afternoon. It is nice but rather small and ironically, it is the smallest in town and the only one that charges admission. $1 per person for Centerpoint residents and $4 per person for anyone else. My 4 year old enjoyed himself nonetheless.
Nice walking park. All pathways are not visible from the road. Well kept park for the most part. Sad to mention seeing a couple of fish belly up in one of the ponds may be due to some stagnant water.
