We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Swale Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Softball stadium featuring fields, a bike trail and a kids' playground.
What runners say about Swale Park
“4 well kept ballfields, nice public restrooms.”
Plenty of parking, not many trees to hide from the sun, bathrooms with running water, kids enjoyed the park but it seem tiny to me (swings, carousel and spring rocker thingy)
Swale is an amazing park. It has huge fields that kids can play sports, as well as baseball fields, a large path around the entire park, and a playground for kids.
Clean restrooms with running water. Very little shade. Good to average ball fields. Ok parking. Park is taken care of.
Nice park for softball... Good parking. Restrooms with running water. Typically a concession trailer there.
