Confirmed from Reed Road 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.
City park with a playground, picnic areas, volleyball and tennis courts, and a pool.

This is a great park.It is large and very well maintained. It has a pool with water slides,basketball and tennis courts, baseball diamonds, playground, soccer field, restrooms,and a paved walking trail.
This is a nice park near the UA library. The library is really nice. There's a good community pool in the park, walking paths, tennis courts, and a nice play area for young kids. One note, however, is they're changing part of the park, and there's construction going on right now, summer 2023.
