Confirmed from Autumnwood 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.
Tranquil recreational area featuring a storybook trail and athletic fields for sports like soccer.
What runners say about Autumnwood Park
“Quiet peaceful space for relaxation, I often go with my kids to enjoy nice weather.”
Be it summer or winter the park is always full of people playing. The atmosphere is nice. Both adults and children can take advantage of the location. There's plenty of space for football or badminton or shaded area if you just want to relax.
Friendly and family oriented. Nice basketball court. Great clean play area for kids all ages. Huge field to run around and fly kites and play the great sports of your choice 😊
This park is a great addition to the neighborhood. I go for walks there and see people playing sports and children playing in the playground.
Great playground, bike path, fields, and pavilion. Portable toilet usually on site in summer.
