Confirmed from South Jackson 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 featuring a playground, picnic facilities & fields for baseball & soccer.
What runners say about South Jackson Park
“Nice clean park for the kid's to play”
Super impressed with the baseball diamonds. Clean park, awesome fields. Came for a Sunday Tourney! Bring TP, as it ran out in the Women's restroom, which happens at most parks, especially on weekends. Snack bar run by local little league, fair prices and top 5 snack bar food I've ever had.
