Confirmed from Tempo 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.
23.92-acre park with a picnic shelter & paved path, plus playgrounds, soccer fields & tennis courts.
What runners say about Tempo Park
“Tennis courts are clean and well maintained though there is typically a short wait to use them.”
“Arcade Creek runs through it and so there are a lot of large mature trees and beautiful walkways to enjoy it all by.”
It's a very beautiful park with lots of nature.There were small fish 𓆝 swimming in the stream, and we also saw squirrels🐿 and ducks🦆. The lawn is also well maintained.There are two large BBQ grills and a covered picnic table, although permission is required.It's the perfect park for an outdoor party.
Great park for walks and riding the bike or scooter. The playground is very nice but not shaded so it’s better for cloudy days
A nice little park with a good walking path and plenty of squirrels to see. We counted 10 on our visit!
Really cute park. Tennis courts are clean and well maintained though there is typically a short wait to use them. Half court for basketball that my kids love. One larger playground and a small playground for younger children as well. Extremely large field and lots of walking trails surrounding the park as well.
