Confirmed from Slay/Baker 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.
Family-friendly park offering a basketball court, a playground, picnic tables and slides.
What runners say about Slay/Baker Park
“Nicolas, my 9 year old nephew loves this spot always clean with kids to play with!”
As a new resident in the colony, I’m glad to have this park for walking my dogs, it seems really clean and have the pet waste disposal with bags, during the nights there’s some of wild animal life (mostly rabbits) I didn’t walk all the park yet, but definitely love to have it at walking distance from my house.
Newly constructed park with two playgrounds, small swing set, pavilion, grill, little library and a basketball court - plus a small green area. Connects with sidewalk trail between neighborhoods.
