Confirmed from South 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.
Disc golf course in a shady park that also features playgrounds, picnic tables and shelters.
What runners say about South Park
“Really nice park, well maintained by the city and its always being used by the public.”
“Free frisbee disc golf course, large trees for shade, and a shelter.”
“A great place for a quiet walk, picnic or just to go play with your kids.”
Nice picknic area with my granddaughter and daughter and other family members. My dogs enjoyed the walk. Friendly people playing frisbee. Good restrooms. City type park no wild life
This park is well placed and has a lot of room to walk and enjoy the warm weather in the summer! This park seems to be known for it's disc golf course because of how small the park is and how many holes are here. There's an 18 hole disc golf course within this smaller park.
Really nice park, well maintained by the city and its always being used by the public. The disc golf course is the main attraction here, so if you're expecting a playground or walking trail there are many other options. The shelters and bathrooms are a bit dated, but still usable.
Super quiet neighborhood. Shaded on a super hot day. Technical. Challenge with well placed trees/ baskets on each hole. A lovely city block in Hutchinson.
