Confirmed from Rotary 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.
Popular destination for hiking and mountain biking, with a playground and creek.
What runners say about Rotary Park
“We saw tadpoles in the water that tells us how clean the creek water is.”
“There are SO many amazing trails to take, across beautiful land with trees, fields, creeks ~ a great (&safe) place to enjoy Mother Nature!”
“It is tranquil and so easy to navigate.”
“The peaceful backside observation deck overlooking the creek side trails area has comfortable chairs for visitors and such a nice peaceful vibe.”
Wow, this place is amazing. Highlight of our day on the road was stopping here for a couple hours to play and explore. The playground was immaculate. I assume it was brand new. Bathrooms were super clean.
My pup, Joker, and I LOVE this park! There are SO many amazing trails to take, across beautiful land with trees, fields, creeks ~ a great (&safe) place to enjoy Mother Nature! Awesome place for kids to play, a beautiful disc golf course, picnic areas, and so much more. 5 Stars for sure ! ❣️
This is a beautiful scenic park with a lovely creek and walking trails. The trail is paved or Boardwalk the whole way and only .3 miles long. There are numerous places where you can splash in the creek but be careful because the rocks are very slippery.
A beautiful park ideal for short hikes and a picnic. The park has lots of trails with a little creek providing views and sounds of rushing water over the river rocks. A great place for a shorter outing.
