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.
This park over 5 acres offers an open play field along with a children's playground.
What runners say about South Fork Park
“It's not only close to home, but always clean and everyone is so friendly!”
“It was peaceful and quiet until the cops showed up cross the Way they pull out some dude out of car window”
This is a good sized park at approx 25 acres of open grass area for people to set up games to play here. They have a decent amount of playground equipment here for the kids to play on, I noticed they have paved walking trails for those that want to get their cardio.
Be careful of the goat heads near curb facing church if you are walking pets. Friendly playground equipment, water fountain but no restrooms...loads of free running room for games, picnics and other activities
Nice park to relax or walk your dog. Great for families and a nice playground for the kids. Adult men go there to play football. So all around nice park.
Nice park for dog walking plus has kids play area. Parking next to it at the church there.
