Confirmed from Sloan 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.
Relaxed outdoor space featuring a playground, picnic shelters and a disc golf course.

What a fun park with great nature trails. Lots to explore and excellent for kids!
Been going to this park since I was a child. Now I truly love this place for it's history, beauty, and peacefulness. I give it a four only because it is smaller than a lot of parks and not a whole lot to do. However if you need a place to get a good piece of mind. Sloan Park is your oyster.
This is a nice park. Big open fields. Trails, Large playground with swings. Plenty of bathrooms and a few different shelters for parties. Never too busy you feel overwhelmed but usually somebody is here having a good time. It's a nice little park out in the country.
Nice park, even thought you can't use the playground there are still other things to do. You can Play frisbee golf, walk the trails, play at creek, play on baseball field, and volly ball.
