Confirmed from Sam 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.
Community park offering tennis courts, picnic tables with BBQ grills & a paved walking trail.
What runners say about Sam Johnson Park
“We had a picnic and played corn hole in the well maintained grassy areas.”
“Slides heat up in the sun but there is plenty of early morning shade.”
“Imo with adult supervision it is extremely friendly for all ages!”
Huge park, all inclusive. Wheelchair accessible merry-go-round and ADA swings. Soft turf surface. Toddler area w/ canopy shade. Zip lines. Rock walls, table and chaors. Wish I had a park like this when I was a kid.
