Confirmed from William L. Taylor 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.
Picnic space, a playground, basketball court & open turf area are the draw at this community park.

Amazing park. Don’t have to worry about traffic cause it’s a one way road. There plenty of space and large trees for shade as well as multiple play ground sets for toddlers and kids. Lots of benches and chairs for parents to sit
Nice little park hidden away with a good walking trail. It has a basketball court, bbqs, picnic tables, a children's play structure, swings, and a small field. You can bring your dog(s) but please note that it is not a dog park. There are no fenced areas for dogs even though google says it is.
Large lot with numerous trees, and it's less than half an acre, situated on top of a bike trail. Exquisite services for staffing and a very relaxing location for a common reason.
