Confirmed from Walter Turnbow Park at Shiloh Square'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.
Park featuring picnic tables and a public restroom, plus lighted trails.
What runners say about Walter Turnbow Park at Shiloh Square
“There are plenty of seating areas, great view of the creek, restrooms, bike racks, and even a bike repair shop in the area.”
Love this place. It's so beautiful. The water is just so peaceful. The wildlife is a neat thing to see for living in town. The trail is a nice place to walk or ride your bike. Glad Springdale made this park/trail. Updat!! We Still love it here! Just had an Alice in wonderland adventure today so fun!
An awesome location along the Northwest Arkansas Razorback Trail. The location offers many amenities. A pavilion with many picnic tables and benches, water fountains, multiple bike racks, and a bicycle repair shop nearby.
Great new park to hang out. The tables do now have parasols to get some shade on the sunnier months. Being able to step down to the water is very cool, but my one qualm with the park is that the part of the creek you can step into is a bit scummy due to having no flow unlike the rest of the nearby creek area.
Not your average park decked with tables n chairs with table umbrellas great for lunches and picnics. Water way teaming with life runs along side the park and trail heading into springdale. Park and sitting area lined with neon lights and lamps light the walkway and trail. Park is small but quaint nice and clean.
