Confirmed from Summerfield Community 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.
Quiet neighborhood park featuring sports fields, a pond and wooded trails, plus playgrounds.
What runners say about Summerfield Community Park
“I was super impressed with how large the park was and how clean and well maintained every area was.”
“This park is an excellent destination for families and individuals who enjoy scenic landscaping, walking, and hiking.”
“Quiet and peaceful, and it seems that not everyone knows about it!”
Neat random find for us! Stopped for the kids to stretch and run around. A very beautiful well kept area! One of the best find and wish something like this was near where we live. Great open field and path to walk on.
Nice park that has a loop around the water and outdoor fitness stations along the way. Several restrooms and a fenced in playground along with benches and picnic tables. A nice bridge and a dock to fish on as well. Very quiet and I only saw one other person while I was there.
Beautiful park, scenic trails, and a great kids play area with play sets and swings. Family friendly and well maintained with restrooms onsite.
Great park well thought out. Small lake, rec area for children and 1/2+ mile trail and exercise areas with outside equipment. Well maintained. Thank you Summerfield.
