Confirmed from Settlers' 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.
Large park boasts playgrounds, baseball fields & a splash area, plus disc golf, tennis & horseshoes.
What runners say about Settlers' Park
“The park is well maintained and the other folks who were there treated the area and us with respect.”
“The pond is beautiful the ducks live it too.”
“It pretty park quite and peaceful, kids area nice and clean, trees for shade.”
“They have a SERIOUS cornhole playing area for serious competition of all ages.”
This is such a great place for a variety of ages and stages. I walked with my elderly family member here and there are plenty of places that hay allow a walker to get onto the sidewalk. There is plenty of shade along walking paths, tables to sit at.
Awesome park. The playground is great, they have one for older kids and one for younger kids. There are some medium sized rocks for rock climbing, tennis courts, a paved walking trail, swings and more. The restrooms have been clean when I was there. The parking lot is pretty big. I would definitely recommend this park.
It was nearly 100° out on a Thursday when most children were in school so our little one pretty much had the run of the place which was great. She had not been there before and really enjoyed herself. The park is well maintained and the other folks who were there treated the area and us with respect.
Love this park. Lots of room and lots for the kids to do. Easy to see your kids running around since the park is wide open. Lots of other kids for yours to meet and play with as well. One of the best features is the water park during the hot summer days.
