Confirmed from Rudy Johnson 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 a playground and picnic facilities, plus basketball courts and a rink.
What runners say about Rudy Johnson Park
I deliver newspapers in this neighborhood, and it is quite cozy to me. The baseball diamond is adjacent to the park itself, and there are plenty of trees to provide shade. Lots of open space for running, and it's right off Highway 10 and 7th Avenue in Anoka. There's also a basketball/ice rink area.
This park is currently under construction. I am looking forward to it being finished. Right now the only feature is a 1/4 mile paved loop. They are supposed to be building the new playground this summer.
Trail conditions & character
“The bathroom lodge could use some work, as it seems totally forgotten, but otherwise, this park is lovely.”
