Confirmed from Sherlock 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.
Park known for its adventure playground that was rebuilt by the community after a fire.

“Beautiful area along the river!”
“Awesome, clean Park with tons of activities and levels for kids of all ages.”
Great place to bring a family. Picnic areas and multiple rest rooms. A nice park that will keep kids entertained for hours. Multiple gazebos. Good paths to bike or walk or run nearby. A must see.
It’s beautiful. Nature is beautiful. Places to walk, benches to sit on, and fun for kids and parents. Trees that have stood the test of time what stories they have to tell.
One of the best parks i have been to, both me and my toddler very much enjoyed running around different sections, exploring the castle and the ship and ofcourse the tyre swing. Fun adventure
So much to do on one playground-slide, swing, climb, walk on the tightrope and much more.
