Confirmed from Taylor 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 Taylor Park
“There are 3 nice fields, the largest in town, that are surprisingly well maintained.”
“My wife loves the heck out of this place she says it is so beautiful she wished we could have gotten married there”
“So peaceful and most times you can catch a softball gaming going very relaxing”
I really cool Park. The track around it used to be a horse racing track and is almost exactly a mile around there's also a really cool race here once he recalled the Lincoln-Douglas 5k. There are several things to do for everyone to the family and a lot of enjoyment out in nature
Very nice and clean park. Took some family photos here and loved it! Great paths for walking!
