Confirmed from Taliaferro 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.
Shaded playground featuring a tire swing, plus basketball, softball and tennis courts.
What runners say about Taliaferro Park
“Walking trail, half basket ball court, fenced in pickleball/tennis courts, nice play equipment in great condition, sand pit, public restrooms etc.”
“Morning and afternoon/evening are the best times for the playground as the trees will give kids shade.”
This is a great little park for toddlers and 5-7 year olds. The little green play structure even has a built in race track; so bring some toy cars! There is a sand pit, restrooms, shelter, and a great green space for running and playing.
Quiet, spacious and not crowded. Nice bathrooms as well. There is 1 shelter, a playground, a couple tennis courts and a big looped trail.
Very secluded nice little park with one shelter, a large playground, tennis courts and a flat easy paved walk around the ball feild and park. Well used and enjoyed by the neighbors in this densely populated residential neighborhood. Perfect for a picnic.
We love this park to take our twin 2 year olds. I came for the first time a few weeks ago and the playground was under construction, so I wanted to take a video and show the playground as it’s finished now. This is a phenomenal park.
