Confirmed from Schwer 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-maintained park featuring a splash pad, a playground and walking trails, plus a playground, fountain, lake, pond, swings and picnic tables.
What runners say about Schwer Park
“Great, well maintained park with a playground, splash pad, and a walking trail around a pond.”
“With nice sidewalks an beautiful 🦋 bench that I absolutely loved!”
They have a splash pad and a park with sand! Then they have a small pond with a walk way that goes around it. It's located in a very nice area and I have been here several times and my kids love it!! There's also a covered area to have parties or a meal in the shade. 🙂
Public bathroom is always accessible but it's kinda dingy and watch out for spiders. The playground received an update and it's better than before. Still a little small but it's still an improvement from the old one. The running trail is fantastic though and is the main reason I come to this park.
Nice park. Have some insect repellent on you if you’re doing an early morning walk.
We enjoy Schwer park. Theres a small loop to walk around the pond which is also fishable. The playground is great especially for kids 4 and up! The splash pad is a summer favorite the water is always cool and I've never seen any part out of order for more than a day.
