Confirmed from Sunshine Village 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.
Neighborhood park with amenities including basketball and soccer facilities, as well as a skate park.
What runners say about Sunshine Village Park
“It is clean well-lit great place to attend a soccer event.”
great park with playground, soccer fields, and walking trail. there's also basketball courts and a skate park! i enjoyed using the outdoor workout equipment too. the only thing i would appreciate is a public bathroom nearby.
Great half-mile, paved track for running and walking. Large playground with fitness equipment too. Even has a skateboard park. The township soccer fields are in the interior of the track and the bathrooms are only open during games.
Love this park. Not too much stuff but just enough to entertain with playground and a nice track to walk around. They appear to be staging a ton of construction 🚧 equipment here. May not be open much longer 🥺
It's a cute and out of the way park with soccer fields and a walking trail. They have outdoor exercise equipment for adults. Lots of parking available. There is a nice sized skate park as well.
