Confirmed from Yancey 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.

Casual park featuring tennis courts, playgrounds, basketball hoops and a creek.

It's a decent park, could use some upgrading on the playground equipment. & some fresh paint on the bridge & pavilion area. Nice little concrete loop to walk & do laps around. The basket ball court could use some upgrading as well. A close walk if you live in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Yancey Park is a nice little park in the middle of town. It has tennis courts, a walking trail, a basketball court, a playground, and pavilions. We have rented a pavilion for a party before, and have attended multiple other such parties.

★★★★★ — Scott , Jul 2017

Good simple little park. Small walking trail surrounding a small play ground. Some spread out picnic tables. It wasn't very busy on a Sunday afternoon, so it's probably not very populated most of the time.
