Confirmed from Stubby 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.
Spacious park boasting a wide variety of play equipment amid shade-casting trees.
What runners say about Stubby Park
“Clean and great sight lines.”
“Its also pretty shady so the sun won't scorch you to death.”
This park has just been completely redone. Its really nice! There are picnic tables and benches to sit at and lots of equipment for the kids to play on. Its also pretty shady so the sun won't scorch you to death. They have slides, climbing walls, monkey bars, tunnels to crawl through...
So many trees for shade along with the shade covers. Has a swing with me swing which my kids loved along with two play grounds and multiple spinning and pushing things! They do have bathrooms but I didn’t check them out.
