Jeremy Davisa month ago
Clow Stephens Park has an easy paved trail that loops around the park. The loop is kind of awkward in that you have to go through the parking lot to continue on the trail. The loop was about 3/4 mile in distance. The trail is perfect for a low-key walk or a family walk. Other than the trail, there's a soccer field, 2 playgrounds, and a dog park.
