Confirmed from Stephens 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 Stephens Park
“Although I do wish they left more than one bathroom open, but I understand staffing issues and having to clean both bathrooms daily (or even ever other day) is probably an issue.”
“Elliptical machine, recumbent and upright bikes, and other equipment is a great feature, and trees on the Southside provide shade while you work out.”
Clean park, new facilities, small path for kids to scooter/ bike on that you can see from the shaded picnic tables, tennis courts, and bathrooms. Will definitely come again.
William's Water Wheel- Splashpad is great for the mid week summer heat. Water was refreshing, but not cold. Big wheel that has kids & adults running into place before it goes off, and smaller one that dump bucket amounts every min or so.
Great little park that has been updated recently. Short walking path. Williams Park and Arbuckle Acres has better walking / jogging paths. Elliptical machine, recumbent and upright bikes, and other equipment is a great feature, and trees on the Southside provide shade while you work out.
90% of attendees are here for the 6 pickleball courts. There is a small playground, public workout equipment, a picnic shelter, and a couple bathrooms. Williams Park is quite close for regular park activities and walking trail desires.
