Confirmed from Sperry 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.
What runners say about Sperry Park
“Overall, a nicely maintained park; there were some potholes on the parking lot so be aware of that when driving.”
Really nice shady trail, had brunch at a picnic table and my dog loved the park too!
This 9.4-acre park is mainly a little league softball and baseball field; there is an all-purpose field, with four fields total. A small picnic area with a couple of tables is located near the parking lot; the lot was spacious. It is open from 8am-8pm from April to November 15.
I parked my car here to ride my bike on the trail and it wasn't broken into so that is a plus. Park looked clean and well kept, there is a Porta Potty here as well so bonus points for that.
Nice trails and well maintained areas. Hiking is easy, mostly flat. There's a bit of climbing near the waterfall if you want. Very enjoyable indeed.
