Confirmed from Summit 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.
New park for kids with a playground and baseball fields.
What runners say about Summit Park
“Would absolutely recommend this inclusive, enclosed, clean and fun playground/park.”
Even wet and rainy my dogs were mud free! Maybe not sand free, but this place is a great location, good sized for long ball throws. Great little walking trail too. We will return
Great park with lots of room for the doggo to run. Water is available and there are some trees with a walking path to enjoy. Everyone I have interacted with has been friendly. Kids playground next door as well.
This parks has a little bit of everything. Fields, dog park, big playground area and restrooms. It has synthetic grass and plenty space for little ones to run and go crazy. Since dog park it’s basically next to the playground, you get to see a dog parade every time.
As far as dog parks go, this one is not bad at all. It has a lot of area for the dogs to run that is flat and free of obstructions. On one end there is a more wilderness area that you can go on a walk in. We didn't go back there but were warned it was somewhat muddy.

“The only complain I have is parking, there are not enough parking spaces so it can be a real challenge.”
“The skate park was awesome with some technical aspects but also great for beginners.”
