Confirmed from Thomas Burton 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.
Local park featuring a baseball field, picnic areas, a playground and a running track.

This was my first visit to the park, and I can confirm that it had a lovely and beautiful scenery. It is quite big and you can either follow the trail around the park or take some shortcuts. The park is well taken care of and very clean, which I really enjoyed.
This park has actual sand which is great when you have a small child. As opposed to wood chips. There is restrooms here the water did not work in the womens. There is a trail around the park for walking. There are a lot and i mean a lot of different slides here. My son loved it.
I used to go here with my family and ride our bikes. It has a nice little track around the park with a few pieces of exercise equipment. There is also a set of stairs that we use to run up and down. It is also a great place for kids as there are slides, swings, and monkey bars. The park also has restrooms.
Great place for a jog. They have a track for running and the park is well maintained. Perfect place for the family or for a walk with your pup. Located in a quaint neighborhood and plenty of place for you to do your morning jog. They also have a small playground for the kids and the restrooms are clean.
