Confirmed from Sanborn 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.
Shady neighborhood park featuring a playground, volleyball courts and picnic spots, plus a large lake for fishing.

Love this place. Not a ton of wildlife. But for a park it's pretty good. Great for a walk around the lake
Great place to walk and spend the day. Great views. Volleyball ball court. Children's play ground. Great place to picnic and eat lunch or have a party.

Don't come to this park!!!! If you do, you'll never want to leave. This beautiful park has it all. From a playground for the kids to a perimeter sidewalk for the joggers & bikers along with a big lake for the fishermen and ducks. Flag football and volleyball can be set up here as well. Ample parking too.
