Confirmed from Sawyer-Ludwig 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.
Public park with a disc golf course, softball and baseball, picnic areas, and a playground.
What runners say about Sawyer-Ludwig Park
“Very clean and well kept.”
Wide open spaces! The park has enough room for your children or fur babies to run around. Get your grounding in under the shade.
There is a newly planted tree on one of the paths near the restroom. This tree is a Memorial for Tim Price AKA Red.
This park has always been a favorite. Disc golf has been an important part since 2004. 18 hole doc golf course used for 2010 Amateur World Championship and lots of local events. Continues to grow with dedication from park department. Added walking trail and new bridge to connecting communities.
The kids loved here! Lots of space to run, love the old school equipment mixed with new! Could be fixed up ofc. There's a cute little bridge with a creek flowing , made for great pictures! We will definitely go again
