We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Scofield park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Park and beach area for fishing and hiking, with a playground and covered tables.
What runners say about Scofield park

“A beautiful park in Howell especially for Fall leaves 10-30-24.”
A beautiful park in Howell especially for Fall leaves 10-30-24....lots of dog walkers and people relaxing on benches looking at the lake.
A nice city park located not too far from downtown Howell! A wide variety of things to do are available at your disposal. Paths and trails make for an ideal walk. Thompson Lake is adjacent to this park if you're looking to swim, canoe, paddle board, etc.
Fantastic local park and beach. There is plenty of shore line for all your summer lake activities. Walk along the trail south for fishing spots under the large trees. The beach is clean with a designated swim area and local vendors there on the weekends for food and drinks.
Love park with waterfront, sandy beaches, grass in sun and shade, tables, and clean restrooms!

“Parks are lack luster, and crazy that the roads are unpaved and there are virtually no accessible paths for a park that charges a non-resident entry fee.”
