Confirmed from Arrowhead 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.
Basketball, tennis and volleyball courts at a spacious playground, featuring a boardwalk and a sledding hill.
What runners say about Arrowhead Park
“Well maintained with good playground, basketball court, sand volleyball court, tennis courts and pavillion.”
A really excellent park with a fantastic playground, tennis court, and walking trail. Be warned, the playground is not for little tots. Recommended age is 5 and up. My 2 year old had a blast, however he's been to plenty of playgrounds in the past.
Basketball court, tennis court, sand volleyball, a place for baseball with a metal backstop (no bases), and another large field with ice hockey in the winter. This park also has a sledding hill and a nice pavilion with a soda vending machine.
Appleton Wisconsin is home to so many different parks and many of which are hidden from the main roads. This being one of them. They've got tennis courts, a basketball court, a newly renovated playground, and a pavilion with plenty of tables for grad parties or get togethers.
Great park. Well maintained with good playground, basketball court, sand volleyball court, tennis courts and pavillion. Also has a boardwalk trail that connects the neighborhood to others.
