Confirmed from South Fork 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.
Community park offering a kids' playground, basketball/volleyball courts & a creekside trail.

Playground, paved bike trail, disc golf, basketball court, shallow creek to walk in, picnic area and public restrooms, sand volleyball court. Good well rounded park to appeal to a broad group.
Beautiful park and well designed disc golf course. ⛳ The scenery and landscape here are lovely. Clean and well kept walk paths. 🏞️
A beautiful park with a beautiful creek towards the back and a unique walking trail which takes you through a Disk Golf park and through a picturesque red bridge. With Autumn upon us, the leaves are falling and the color of the leaves are changing! Now is the perfect time to go!
We had a great time! The creek is nice and the bridge is fun to go across. Nice trail! We will be back
