Confirmed from Sokol 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.
Dog-friendly greenspace featuring ball fields, playgrounds and hiking trails.
What runners say about Sokol Park
“Very nicely upkept and clean playground that's toddler friendly.”
“Our dogs love to and so do we.”
Love this park! Huge open green spaces for kids to play soccer at Sokol North complex. Fun play equipment. Nice trails for walking and riding bicycles at main park. Also the Will May Dog Park is at Sokol (main park). Great location.
Had a great time today. Responsible owners and friendly happy dogs. Plenty of room to run. Picnic tables and benches for us humans. I'm so glad we have a dog park!
Nice. Enjoyed walking here. Also brought grandson and he had a great time at the playground.
Love the dog park. Clean, lots of grass and shaded. The dogs are divided up by size and the dogs must show vaccine records to go play. The City does an excellent job in keeping this park up. Our dogs love to and so do we.
