Confirmed from Stockstill 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.
A dog-friendly park with a playground, a baseball field, a creek and a skate park.
What runners say about Stockstill Park
“Clean public restrooms are nearby, as is ample parking in 2 separate lots.”
“Has a beautiful creek running through the park.”
“While visiting Branson this park was perfect for running with flat trails and shaded areas.”
Stockstill Park is a really great location to go for a quick, easy walk🚶♂️🚶♀️; and, there are both a longer hiking trail (~1 mile paved alongside Roark Creek) and a small dog run (Marra Memorial) nearby. The actual park itself is layed out nicely.
We love to walk and this park was an awesome place to go! There is a half mile circle with a playground in the center, a stream along the side with a bridge that leads to the parking area, and then a paved mile long path that leads off into a nice wooded area, BEAUTIFUL walk!
One of my favorite parts of our visit to Branson was spending the afternoon at Stockstill Park. Most of it was spent playing in the creek, but a couple of my small nieces and nephews did play on the playground for a bit.
A nice playground and dog park. Park is located in a residential neighborhood. A non smoking park. I brought my son here when we were on vacation in Branson. I think it might have been a 10 minute drive from our hotel. Has a beautiful creek running through the park.
