Confirmed from Sykes 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.
What runners say about Sykes Park
“With several MTB/Hiking trails and well maintained tennis courts, this little gem is a wonderful place to breathe in some fresh air and stretch those muscles.”
What a great little park to have right in the middle of our community. With several MTB/Hiking trails and well maintained tennis courts, this little gem is a wonderful place to breathe in some fresh air and stretch those muscles.
Nice family park. There a few different walking trails which I find very convenient. I like the trails a different way of getting some exercise. There is also a basketball/tennis court and a play area for younger kids. There are grills in some spots in the park for family cook outs.
It poured rain as soon as I got there(30 minute bicycle ride), so I couldn't ride any trails or anything. Looked great though, and the pavilions and grills were mostly in good condition. I'll definitely go back on a sunny day.
Very nice, not hiking but there are trails to play like your serious hiker. Lots of big rocks suitable for picnics or simply enjoying the sounds of nature.
