Confirmed from Trailhead 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.
Kids’ park featuring climbing structures, swings and a zipline.
What runners say about Trailhead Park
“Great park, easy access to play yard, clean and green… keep yourself and your family healthy n happy!”
“So much great equipment for kids, toddler accessible and a good amount of shade as well!”
“The play area is fully gates for the safety of the kids and is full of a variety of play structures for all ages.”
Just wow. So much great equipment for kids, toddler accessible and a good amount of shade as well! The plastic is HOT at the height of the sun, so plan accordingly - I would have put my daughter in pants just so she would have had a barrier, but other than that, there was plenty to explore.
We LOVE this park! We recently had a play date here with friends and their little ones, and they were ages 1-5. They had a blast. I do wish there was a bit more shade, but overall, great place to take your families!
Such a nice park to visit, even my 12 years old enjoy it. The playground located on the entrance of the neighborhood . The playground also very accommodating for toddlers since they have different play ground activities that accessible for them. This park also has basketball court and walking trails.
I can't tell you about the park itself, but the trail itself was so awesome. VERY hilly, and it follows the power lines. It's paved the whole way and leads to a small cove on Lake Wylie. A great place to stop if you are in Tega Cay, it's a good workout too.
