Confirmed from Stolley 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.
Relaxed outdoor space offering playgrounds and a train ride, plus disc golf.
What runners say about Stolley Park
“The new splash pad perfect for the little ones to have some fun and parents to distress, great job on this new addition to the park it’s nice and clean!”
“This one has a train, multiple playgrounds of many shapes and sizes, a beautiful flower garden, and even refreshments that are 1950s prices.”
“The mature tree lined paths were lovely, the kids playground is amazing, and the old preserved buildings were a surprise.”
They have recently made some changes for the better. Great for walking and seeing the different gardens. Has a large playground for all ages and a splashpad. There is soccer fields, disc golf, horse shoe pits, and pickel ball courts. Plenty of nice clean bathrooms.
We stopped by for a walk around the park and were very surprised by the variety of things to do. The mature tree lined paths were lovely, the kids playground is amazing, and the old preserved buildings were a surprise. Our favorite was the beautiful garden area. The well designed variety of gardens were so nice.
Took the kiddo to the spray ground; it is awesome and clean. Well designed and placed with shade right on the edge. The train looks awesome, the garden is well done, and the Hackberry trees are trimmed up to provide shade yet allow air movement
Very nice and peaceful to see and enjoy yourself. Seeing the flowers and just walking through a garden. Thank you, Grand Island Parks and Recreation. The park has been upgraded and it's beautiful.
