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.
City park with a playground, splash pad, and picnic tables, plus disc golf and soccer fields.
What runners say about Summit Park
“Always clean, nice restrooms, big pavilion with picnic tables.”
This park is great for kids of most ages. The splash pad is a blast and directly next to the playground area. There is a lot of empty space to run and play. The pavilion is clean with plenty of tables for a party. The bathrooms are also close by and clean. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend this park.
I absolutely love this park to hang out with my kids. Nice clean open and safe. There is a wonderful splash pad and playground. They have a nice pavilion to have parties and to cook out. There are electrical hookups and free WiFi. There is also ample space to play games and sports.
Great splash pad! The park has some decent shade with picnic tables. Swings and slides are a hit. The only downside is that there is a small hill and big bushes, so if your kids run around the other side you can't see them. There are bathrooms near the pavilion. Overall 4.5 stars.
Great place for beginners to learn or experienced players to disc golf. Has pavilion with restrooms and a nice park and water park area. As well as soccer fields and a track to walk or run. Great clean well kept park.
