Confirmed from Simonds 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.
Greenspace offering multiple sport courts & fields, including a skate park & street hockey court.

The park is very well maintained and the disc golf course is easily accessible and good for beginners to all levels. They just built a new Boardwalk into a treehouse which is really nice and it has a great Overlook of the skate park hockey rink and pickleball court.
They had a very amazing tree house u could walk up into. And there are just so many different activities u can do there. A few small hiking trails perfect for kids huge playground a watering spot bathrooms and tennis baseball field and a skate park for kids. To enjoy. Just so much fun stuff to do there.
I recently visited this park with my two year old, and we had a great time. The park has something for kids of all ages, from infants to big kids. There are swings for all ages, including infant swings with high backs and safety belts.
This park was phenomenal and the playground is great for all different ages. Parking is easy to find, there are restrooms and multiple swings. Kids enjoyed walking to the tree house, and they have space for hockey, pickleball and tennis. Can’t wait to bring my kids back!
