Confirmed from Shively 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.
What runners say about Shively Park
“The park was clean and the play equipment was nice.”
Nice little park in Shively. They keep nice and clean. It has tennis courts, a play area for the kids, and several gazebos that can be used for group get togethers. I remember climbing up top that tank and playing when I was a kid, Need restrooms there. A library is there as well.
Very nice park! With a nice playground area for kids, the basketball court is beautiful and they have a nice fitness area with a walking trail!
Was attending a party....nice park but wish there were proper rest rooms and not the mobile toilets that are dirty with no running water.
Trail conditions & character
“The kids had fun the only thing is the lack of restrooms, there was only one port a potty.”
