Confirmed from Thompson 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.
Green space featuring an electronic game, a soccer field and a playground.
What runners say about Thompson Park
“It was also a quite clean place and smelled nice and fresh.”
“Beautiful park , good for toddlers and kids lots of options to explore and play .”
Nice park , it has an play area for kids in the entrance , it has an outdoor and indoor tennis court , it has an huge soccer field (summer it’s busy completely with kids practicing) and got an huge walk pathway across the whole park..
Large, well maintained park with plenty of open space, soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, paved walking path, playground equipment, shelter house, restrooms and more than enough parking.
Thompson Park is a fantastic green space where tennis courts, basketball, soccer practice, and games happen. Toward the front of the park is a smaller soccer field and children's playground. There is plenty of parking. There is a small covered area for a picnic and paved walking trails.
Guys are doing amazing job keeping this beautiful park cleaned all the time . And the community also understands that cleaned environment is better for everyone . I love spending time there and take a walk on my days off .
