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.
Park with soccer fields, a splash pad, a playground, and picnic areas, plus a restroom.
What runners say about South Park
“Quiet if you go in the middle of afternoon or late at night.”
Great addition to the community. Splash pad, playground, swings, picnic area, workout station, running track, soccer field. Dip station was installed as two separate halves, still works though.
Nice splash pad with covered picnic tables with grills and restrooms. Nice playground for younger children and covered workout area. Paved path around exterior good for walking and kids bike riding.
I enjoy going walking with my daughter and husband at night when soccer practice is over for the kiddos. The only thing is that I heard they close early
The kids enjoy the splash pad, and swings to play. It also has a picnic table with shade. Very clean. Also, has exercise area and a walking track.
