Confirmed from Seymour 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.
Quiet, clean and tranquil park, featuring trails, sports fields and a playground.
What runners say about Seymour Park
“It's a cute little Park, nice and clean.”
“Beautiful, Clean and quiet!”
“Very popular local for family fun or just a quiet walk in the wildlife refuge.”
Nice quiet park baseball field and basketball courts. And small playground ample parking and a Porto poddy which is helpful. And there is good walking trails in the back.
Beautiful, Clean and quiet! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this big rock with a nice little path along side of it. It lead me to a boardwalk that went through the woods almost the entire way! I forget the name of the place next door where you can enter this trail...
Barnes nature center Riley field and Seymour park are colocated on shrub road. Several days a week ball games are played. Basketball and tennis courts are available. Pet owners walk their pups on the trails behind the horse farm next door. A bicycle club also meets weekly for on-the-road workouts.
It's a cute little Park, nice and clean. Although the people who walk their dogs, should really learn to read the signs posted that you're not supposed to
