Confirmed from Sacajawea 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.
What runners say about Sacajawea Park
Connected to a Middle School - great turf lighted field but it is often reserved for FW Soccer Club. There are some paved trails and a 'hidden' playground.
I used to jog 1.5 from my home to here with 3 small children on bicycles. There was a cinder track and a playground on the hill. Perfect for me getting a hard workout. I did memory lane and traced the route from the home, then ran a mile on a modern track.
A nice park. It has a lot of space for walks, baseball fields, soccer/football fields, a running track, and big tennis field. You can also play with a frisbee on one of the grass fields. There is a clean playground area for kids too. The parking is good, I personally have not had any trouble with it.
The park is up behind the baseball diamonds but since that puts it in the trees I think that makes it better. This was a good place for the kids to run around and use some energy on the play set.

“Wish they had some closer bathrooms for the kiddos while they are playing.”
“I like the open space glad they started turning light on earlier they could add more in parking lots but other then that it's a good field”
