Confirmed from Whitetail 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.
A pavilion-led park featuring soccer fields, trails, basketball courts and playgrounds for kids.

Has a pavilion, lots of soccer fields.. 2 basketball courts, small playground, really nice pond. Also appears to have walking trails. Google maps takes you the wrong way, turn left instead of right on Deer Park Run.
Nice park. Well kept. Great shelter with a nice walking path. There's soccer fields and a few basketball courts here along with clean restrooms and a playground.
Whitetail Park is a very beautiful Park. We were under the pavilion everything was clean. The bathrooms were very clean. A nice place for the children. The only problem is the water was running constantly and we had somebody fix it for the park which they probably didn't even know was broken.
Community park with two 11v11 grass soccer fields, crushed gravel walking path through woods, pavilion with charcoal grill cook area and picnic tables, basketball courts, children's playground, and restrooms with running water...in an upscale residential neighborhood
