Confirmed from Volunteers 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.
What runners say about Volunteers Park
“Four basketball courts, skate part, three baseball fields, recently repaved walk/run paths, cricket pitch, covered picnic pavilion, clean restrooms.”
The park has multiple entrances for great access. During the summer, you can play sports, use the playground, or walk on the trails. During the winter, sledding on the large fields is a favorite activity for everyone.
Perfect park for all age groups; good for jogging, biking, skateboarding, basketball, baseball and cricket. They have the center pitch for perfect cricket. Entire park is maintain really well.
Volunteer's Park is great. Good sized playground for kids and another for small children. Four basketball courts, skate part, three baseball fields, recently repaved walk/run paths, cricket pitch, covered picnic pavilion, clean restrooms. Only drawback is the lack of tennis courts. Otherwise this park is fabulous.
Nice place to spent relaxing and quite time. Good seating arrangements. Clean area. Nice play group for kids with lots of equipment. Clean restrooms. There is a cricket pitch here and large area to play. Long walking trail and lots of greenery
