Confirmed from Sankey 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.
Well-kempt green space featuring a covered bridge and a playground with swings.

“Beautiful well kept landscaping, clean picnicking space and new modern (no skillet hot metal slides) play equipment.”
“Absolutely beautiful place to enjoy with family and friends or even as a quiet spot for just yourself.”
“Several big play structures with multiple slides for kids of all ages!”
Nice place to visit in sweet home. Dogs on leashes. Lots of kids on bikes and skateboards. Lots of little kids running around. The older kids get on the new giant play structure. Had a birthday for a 2 year old recently. Lots of young kids around lots of parties. Cool cannon up front.
Beautiful park! Great play equipment, pretty setting, photo ops, historical structures, hiking trails, BMX track.
The park has got an updated playground area for all ages of the kids. They have done wonders with this whole entire sankey park. In the year 2011 they had a little swing set, and I believe a different toy. There was one main trail to the building in the middle of the park and then a walkway to the old staging area.
Most beautiful park I've ever been to. Really cool too with the trails around the back of the park. I can't wait to go back, even as an adult 😄 Bathroom, creek, large, fun playground, nature trails, BMX track, under construction right now for maybe more trails?
