Confirmed from Roosevelt Common'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 tennis courts and a skate park, plus a playground, pond and picnic tables.
What runners say about Roosevelt Common
“Great park, a lot of trees, birds, The park is very clean.”
It’s a park. That’s what it is. You got tennis courts. You got a pretty good kids playground. You got a skateboard park. And you have some nice trails to walk and ride a bicycle. Oh and there’s a nice Teddy Roosevelt monument, too.
Our dog Layla loves to walk here & I want to take my granddaughter Theodora here to make music with the new outdoor percussion instruments.
Good park, two distinct play areas. One gated (well semi gated as the gates will push open) area for under 5: it's limited, lacking toddler swings. Another play area for over five that seems good. There is also a short walking path. We've enjoyed just watching ducks at the pond that's within a stone's throw.
Cute little dog trail, they even supply 💩 bags. Nice and serene love coming here to meditate. They took away the skate park but they have the kids park and the fields. There's a little historical monument. My favorite is the tall pines and naturescape

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
