Confirmed from Roadside 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.
Park featuring a playground with slides, picnic tables, and a gazebo.
What runners say about Roadside Park
“Trees to climb and plenty of picnic tables and benches in the shade nice spot for a lunch or pic ice outside with kids.”
A fun park for. quick stop. Good for the under 10 ages. The slide has changed since we were last there. Fun for running around with a nice picnic area at the top.
My two-year-old loves this park. The slides are great, it's accessible for even the littlest little, and there are always a lot of vehicles that pass by that thrill him! However, there is NOT a bathroom or even a satellite porta potty that I could find. There should *always* be one at any playground park...
A great park with a playground suitable for a good age range of children. There is a nice pavilion to get out of the sun, and several benches for resting. There are several pokestops, as well as a pokemon gym for those who are playing Pokemon Go.
This park is a favorite of my kids. It was recently revamped and has some pretty decent seating areas for family gatherings. Nearby water park, paths and tennis courts allow a family friendly environment and experience.
