Confirmed from Stanton Central 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.
Renovated park featuring a large playground area, clean bathrooms and a splash pad modeled after the Wild West.

Such a great place to bring the kids. They have splash zones and the track is so big to walk around

Love love love this park!! It has everything you need for a great day. Clean restrooms, tennis courts, walking trails, multiple covered playgrounds ranging by age, covered picnic tables and grills, a water splash pad (not currently open) swings and lots of beautiful greenery!
This pak is great. There are very nice parks around the area such as Harry Dotson but I love how Stanton central is open later than most, it closes at 9pm. It offers a huge play scape and a few other small playgrounds. It seems to accommodate a wide range of ages.
Trail conditions & character
“They have a community center, 4 tennis courts, basketball courts, children play areas, plenty of seating places, outdoor workout equipment, refreshments to buy, restrooms.”
“There’s a skate park across the parking lot for the big kids too.”

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
