Confirmed from Zinkil 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.
Quaint park offering exercise stations, 2 playgrounds, interactive fountains & a walking trail.
What runners say about Zinkil Park
“They have a great playground, a splash pad, a nice running path, it's spacious, dog friendly, and it's pretty clean.”
“Beautiful park great for small kids too just beware the spiders in the kid play area”
“The Playground has a covering so you don't burn up and there are plenty of trees around for shade to walk the paths”
Clean, peaceful, and beautiful little park. Nice exercise equipment, playground, and walking trail surrounded by big shady trees.
Nice park. Parking may be an issue depending on the time of the day. Huge playground area with swings located just outside the enclosed playground. Plenty of exercise machine along the walking path...I didn't care for the dirt like walking path.
The canopy only covers half the play area, here in south Florida especially in the summer we need better shade. The tubular bells cannot be played because they are out of adjustment and The glockenspiel is missing a hammer. The memory game has not been working fit the last month.
I recently went walking at the park and it's so nice. They upgraded with new workout equipments. Jenard, one of the worker is very nice. He's always cleaning up and giving the walkers water. He's very pleasant and friendly. I really enjoy going walking at this park.
