Confirmed from Show Low City 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.
Popular park featuring playgrounds, basketball courts and disc golf courses.
What runners say about Show Low City Park
“We were really impressed with how well-maintained the park was, and it had a lot of interesting, unusual toys to play on.”
“We were able to sit and eat under shade at a picnic bench.”
“We saw lots of people of all ages enjoying various parts of the park.”
Great place for kids to play. Excellent facilities, clean and well kept. Easy trail around the park, connects to other trails. Picnic areas are clean.
We were really happy with this park. The ziplines and cool swings were the biggest hit. We also loved reading books from the little library. It's quite a hike up to the restrooms with a kid who has to go, but we made it.
Our family loves this park. We come here every other week to play basketball. We have 5 kids and a dog, the basketball court is fenced in so we close the gate and let our 1 yr old run around with the dog while we play ball. Very clean and maintained park. Highly recommend.
We stop here frequently as a rest area driving to Tucson or Phoenix. This is a really big park that has a fun, zip line for older kids and a very spacious dog park. Lots of nice shade. Great place for a nap in the shade.
