Confirmed from Scott 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.
Clean hangout featuring a playground and a basketball court, as well as picnic tables and restrooms.

Visited the park for a Family Fun day by Coastal Plains. The park is spacious for the area, very clean, nice size playground, and pavilions around. People were walking their dogs, but didn't see a fenced area for the puppers.
It is great started my daily walks to loose weight and strengthen my heart and I feel that is a good place to do that, quiet and very surreal.
Clean with a Brand New track! Great for walking and jogging! Has restrooms n pavilions with Shade. Tons of space to play football and soccer.
Nice park. New basketball courts are almost finished. Nice running track and play ground.
