Confirmed from Roland B. Sweitzer Community 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.
Grassy area featuring a playground and a pond, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Roland B. Sweitzer Community Park
Love this park!! Great equipment in good condition, two separate playgrounds for separate ages. A nice walking loop around it. Nice soft rubber ground for falls. Beautiful, big fields for soccer and even has a small public restroom.
Playground with rubber surface, benches, restroom. Large grassy field plus a short path through wooded area and around pond.
Nothing special, just a nice little community park with a lawn, a playground, and a short paved trail around a little pond.
Great park to walk your dog , or just take kids to play and do some quick workouts on the bench.
