Confirmed from Travers 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.
Public park with a wide range of facilities, including tennis courts, skate ramps & ball fields.
What runners say about Travers Park
“Well maintained, beautiful field, if you are part of a large tournament parking will be dicey.”
“There are benches for parents (bring an umbrella for shade since the trees are just saplings right now and don’t yet cover the benches with their shade.”
“The toys are a lot of fun for all ages, there is a great shade canopy over the big toy.”
This is a very fun park with lots of things to do. There is a walking and biking trail thats very smooth for even skateboards. There are tennis courts and picnic tables and lots of places to sit.
New playground reopened in Spring 2025. Great set up, soft play surface with a separate climbing structure for littles (sign says kids from 2-5) and for bigger kids up to 12 years old. Lots of open space to run around as well.
If I could I would give 4.5 stars only because of the massive indoor racquetball building that is somewhat of an eyesore. The whole project was disruptive although I imagine the four courts are pristine. Additionally it brought a total to the playground so tons of room and upgrades for the young kiddos.
This is truly a great park! Two baseball fields, large open fields, a small dirt bike track, tennis courts, skate park (skate boards, roller blades etc.), public restrooms (real toilets!), very large play ground areas, swings, a hill for rolling down!
