Confirmed from Rock 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.
Waterfront spot featuring a playground for kids, shady trees and grassy spaces for picnics.

A nice little escape right after lunch — exactly what we needed! Rock Park is a beautifully maintained local park with a scenic river flowing alongside the walking path. The sound of the water makes the whole atmosphere incredibly peaceful and relaxing.
Easy to find right after a trailer park. Rock Park is a oasis beside the river. It has a few gazebos and the normal amenities. There's a volleyball court and a children's play area. A bike path runs along the river so keep your eyes open. Though there are plenty of garbage cans there were no doggie bags for doggie do.
Perfect for children to play for a few mins, beautiful scenery, and lots of walking/biking/jogging area.
