Confirmed from Arlington 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.
Clean space offering an abundance of play equipment for children and basketball courts.
What runners say about Arlington Park
“"One of the beautiful parks for the city,if the community keep it clean when they use it!”
“It's nice, Clean and has a good variety of things for all ages and conditions.”
Nice little park with modern equipment..the kids enjoy it and there r plenty of benches 4 us lazy adults to sit on while the kids run wild
Very nice place for kids to play and even for parent's to walk and exercise. Even has a fenced in basketball court. Recently built and done a very good job especially designing it. Although there could've been a few more benches for parents to sit while they're children play but overall I give it 5 stars!!!
I like to walk on the track around the park while my daughter watch my grandchildren play on the playground, you definitely have to be careful in this park it doesn’t have a good reputation so whenever you come make sure it’s not crowded and before dark
It's nice, Clean and has a good variety of things for all ages and conditions. It would be good to have some shade over the play area. Should go when not so sunny
Trail conditions & character
“We have enjoyed it since the change in the new park but as we visited today the bathroom is locked and I had to take my kids back home to go to the bathroom and then come back”
