Dorton is a family and pet-friendly neighborhood park. There is a disc-golf course, multiple tennis courts, soccer fields, kids swing sets and a loop trail around the park totaling approximately 1.1 miles.
I like to run here because the park is flat, but I've found that it becomes densely populated quickly on the weekends. Having to dodge dog walkers and moms with kids in strollers is a hindrance to a training run, so lately I have been running in the neighborhood next door. I occasionally incorporate the Dorton loop into my training run.
Dorton is not a very big park, but is clean, well maintained, and has a variety of things to offer. I have heard rumor of exercise classes being held there as well but I am not aware of the schedule or details. The bathrooms are always clean here.
A good option for beginner runners.
