Confirmed from Rotary Pond 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.
Park offering picnic tables, an archery range, and a pond for fishing.
What runners say about Rotary Pond Park
“The trails were well maintained.”
This location is a lovely little park to go for a nice nature walk with the kids. They keep it very well taken care of. It is 1 mile long and there are fishers everywhere along the pond. Very nice relaxing place to read a book, fish, draw/ paint or just have a nice walk with the family.
This is a great place to bring the kids for a day of fishing or by yourself for some alone time. The ponds have trails that encompass the park and pond with lots of places to case a line and wait for a bite. Before they improve this area, I used to bring my dogs here in late spring to go swimming.
Lovely path for a stroll around the pond. Great spot for fishing with docks that get you out into the water. Plenty of parking too! I noticed quite a few cats running around.
Love the walkways and park overall... There is quite a few good trails back in there I don't think people realize :-) Always have a great time walking along the river! 8/10
