Confirmed from Turtle Run 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.
Neighborhood destination for picnics, barbeques and sports games plus a kids' playground.
What runners say about Turtle Run Park
“The restrooms are surprisingly clean and well-kept, which is always a plus.”
“Shade is decent, but not ideal for mid summer, so if you go then I would visit in the morning.”
It is a great park for the kids and they can do just about anything. do you feel like running, they have an area for that. kids want to play on the playground, there is a very nice one there. Feel like having a party, they have a place for you. Soccer, baseball, volleyball. they have it. Love this park.
It’s a cute park to take your younger children but isn’t much to do for the teenagers unless they’re running a much on the gazebo like contraption. The bathrooms aren’t really clean ever and I wish there was more of a walking trail for people who want to walk while their kids play or are doing soccer or the such but…
Such a sweet little park that’s really well taken care of. There’s a nice open field that’s perfect for flying kites, tossing a ball, or just letting the kids run wild. The restrooms are surprisingly clean and well-kept, which is always a plus. The playground might be small, but the little ones absolutely love it.
Lovely park, well maintained. Large field to fly kites, play tag, and run. Bathrooms are clean and maintained. The playground is on the smaller side, but the kids really enjoy it.
