Confirmed from Zachary Community 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.
Leisurely park featuring a playground and a dog area, plus a skateboard ramp and a splash pad.
What runners say about Zachary Community Park
“Very peaceful and clean it's a lot of things you can do here some are fishing walking exercises enjoy the sun take the kids out to play”
“The hot air balloons were so beautiful and the night-time glow of them made it even more beautiful.”
Activities for the whole family. The pond is stocked with fish: catfish, bass, brim, and a carp. The playground is a nice setup with a variety. The walking paths around the ponds are wide. Went on the nature trail today, followed to the Americana trail due to the nature trail loop looking muddy.
It has a great dog pen its large enough u can let man's best friend run wild ...
