Confirmed from Thomas 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.
Relaxed park offering swings and slides, plus a basketball court, tennis courts, skate park and pickleball court.
What runners say about Thomas Park
“The grounds are well kept, and the events offered around the park were well maintained and good quality.”
I have used Thomas Park for 30 years. It is well maintained and has evolved well over the years. I utilized when my children were young and have taken advantage of the playground and tennis offered for my grandchildren. Great walking path to walk my dog. Two thumbs up. 👍👍
