Confirmed from William K. Collins Memorial 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 William K. Collins Memorial Park
“There are shaded playgrounds, a baseball field, sand volleyball court, and lots of room to run around.”
This is a lovely park a few blocks up from the library on Moe Road. There are shaded playgrounds, a baseball field, sand volleyball court, and lots of room to run around. There's also a pavilion that can be rented for parties; it's a perfect place to host birthdays for smaller children.
A nice little park... Picnic tables covered by a roof, a couple of small playgrounds, clean bathrooms and plenty of space to run and play
