Confirmed from Zinn 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.
Community park featuring play equipment for kids, a splash pad, a pavilion & occasional events.
What runners say about Zinn Park
“The park is huge, clean and all ages friendly.”
My special needs kids loves this place!!! The water pad is their favorite part. Although I wish they would fix the gates!! Autistic kids tend to run away for no apparent reason so that would really make me enjoy taking my kids there more often.
There's a splash pad open from 10am-6pm for the kids, a good amount of walking space , an exercise Pavillion and lots of playground space for every size kid. It's also a park so there's a good space to walk around or people watch on the benches. And a great place to Pokemon Go.
