Confirmed from Skytower 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.
Kids' park featuring ball diamonds and a basketball court for leagues and individuals.
What runners say about Skytower Park
“Other than that, it’s very nice kept & the restrooms are clean , most of the time.”
“Plenty of trees for shade, no bleachers for the baseball fields, they seem to all be for little league (children).”
“Very clean, quiet place to enjoy for the whole family.”
“Try this place, the dogs walking were on leashes and they did provide doggy poop bags.”
Well kept, the walking path is nice, and the workout equipment is a plus!
Very clean, quiet place to enjoy for the whole family. Hidden in the middle of a neighborhood and unknown to most people unless you live nearby. A small playground for the smaller children and several ball diamonds for leagues and individuals to play.
A nice neighborhood park. There is a small, outdoor playground that does not have swings. There are bathrooms but they are not exceptionally clean. There is a very nice walking path all around the park as well.
This is a nice park. Clean, well kept, park-like in atmosphere. (As compared to a big old treeless dustbowl) Playing fields are nicely delineated with chain link fences, which also clearly shows pedestrians where they can walk to reach the different playing fields.
