Confirmed from Spring Ave Walking 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 a pond and benches, featuring a paved walking path, birds and an asphalt track.
What runners say about Spring Ave Walking Park
“Had a wonderful time there me and my husband can't wait to go back it's absolutely beautiful over there couldn't have asked for anything better”
“Nice, small walking park in quiet neighborhood.”
Beautiful, quiet, and clean walking park! There isn't a lot of parking spots and there aren't any bathrooms available. It would be nice if they added some swings underneath the pergolas. Overall, it's still a nice little walking park.
Nice, small walking park in quiet neighborhood. Asphalt track is one-third mile long and in decent shape. Circles around large pond with fountain and a lot of greenery, birds, etc.
Such a nice and quiet walking path. Lots of benches to sit down as well.
Lovely! One of the only walking parks left in Panama City. Very relaxing with a pond and fountain, set away from main road. Not too much noise pollution. It has a wide enough (paved) pathway for two people side-by-side.
