Confirmed from Vine Grove Optimist 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.
Sprawling park featuring a splash pad, a playground and a disc golf course.
What runners say about Vine Grove Optimist Park
“The park is clean with a nice bathroom with running water and even a shower, but what is up with all the camping spots with electric and water.”
Would have given this park five stars bit I just couldn't figure it out. The park is clean with a nice bathroom with running water and even a shower, but what is up with all the camping spots with electric and water. For such a small park, there must have been 100 hook up tightly packed.
Very nice recreation area in a small town with a wide variety of outdoor activities. Besides the ampitheatre, ball diamonds, and playground, there are trails to walk along beside a creek and a fire pit near a small parking area with hookups for rv's, and two different canopied picnic table areas.
It's a very nice park i just have a hard time walking so far to get to the games to watch
