Confirmed from Rock Fence 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.
Clean park for the kids in your life, with slides and other playground toys.
What runners say about Rock Fence Park
“It's clean and they have a new updated play area just wish they had a gated area for the small kids like City County Park has overall it's a great Park though.”
Good lil park when there isn't a bunch of teenagers running thru it and playing on the ay ground that's meant for toddlers an parents that has they own kids n toddlers are being parents instead of sitting and not watching they kids an on they phone. But it's a public park so that comes with it.
Nice centrally located park. Parking can be bit of an issue during peak times. Half of the playground has pretty new equipment. Other side is showing it's age. Pavilion could use some upkeep. Overall a nice place to bring the kiddos to let them run.
