Robbinsdale is one of the few large parks in Rapid City that does not directly border the Swanny Trail, but there is plenty of running to enjoy here too! This green space is located between Oakland Street and East Fairmont Boulevard in the southeast of the city. It features a playground, sporting fields, a BMX park, and a sizable off-leash dog area, but there are also pleasant concrete paths encircling the park. The lollipop-shaped route starting from Oakland Street is about 2 miles.
