Confirmed from Tomlinson 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.
Locally popular space featuring baseball fields, a playground and a dog area or fountain.
What runners say about Tomlinson Park
“baseball fields are well maintained, playground area has lots of unique equipment and even some rock climbing boards.”
“Additionally, there is a shaded space with body weight strength equipment and a couple of cardio options.”
“Great park, lots of wicked fun outside equipment for all ages (yes also adults) and plenty of shade.”
At dusk a lively but not too crowded welcoming neighborhood coated steel play park.. With gated little kids park, big kids park structures, exercise equipment, divided by sidewalk with covered water fountain and doggie fountain.
Wonderful park for the whole family. While the kids get their energy out on the play ground the adults can burn some cals on the buildt in work out equipment. This park is in the middle of a subdivision making it safer than by a main street. Its mostly shaded.
I walk to the park just to use and enjoy the exercise equipment. There are signs on almost everything that states no children under 14 but parents just do not care. It's gotten so bad that I'm going to be going to another park.
Great location to walk, jog or pet walks. Small pond with lots of activity. Covered play area and exercise section. Water fountains for both us and pets.2- Little league fields. Parking lot under trees and concrete pad.
