Confirmed from Weltner 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.
Small park featuring a basketball court and a sand volleyball court, plus a playground.

“The play equipment has been recently updated and you'll find local families enjoying the shade that the structure has all day.”
This charming park is quite well maintained and very peaceful dispute it’s proximity to main roads. There is a basketball court and even a sand volleyball court adjacent to a playground. The shelter is large with three tables and a grill.
Before I go to work everyday at Jersey Mike's I hang out at the park and play Pokemon GO. When I get off of work I wait at the park and there's usually people playing basketball. Park is kept very clean it's an awesome place to hang out.
Nice shade in the morning and usually clean. However, I did find a broken glass pipe in the sand today. We've been 100 times and that was a first.
This is a nice small park. The play equipment has been recently updated and you'll find local families enjoying the shade that the structure has all day. There is only one infant swing (no bigger kid swings), a small, shady address with stumps for walking on, half court basketball, sand volleyball court, and pavilion.
