Confirmed from Bicentennial 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.
Tiny community park offering a paved trail, footbridge & grassy area with picnic tables.
What runners say about Bicentennial Park
“Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful place but the pictures on here that I’m seeing so it’s like a little pond.”
Did I miss something? It was very small and the little trail was maybe five minutes. Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful place but the pictures on here that I’m seeing so it’s like a little pond. All I saw was the freeway and beautiful scenery and a small area. As somebody mentioned, there are two picnic tables.
It's a quite small out of the way park which has 2 poke stops very close to each other. It makes if very convenient to stop, have a bite to eat while dropping a lure or two. Plus it is an extremely short walk to historic Auburn.
Awesome place to take pictures. We saw several hikers and an event going on... A guy came back with some kettle corn. There are picnic tables, and old relics from the past.
Great stopping point to walk the dogs when traveling. The park is small but just the tight size to stretch your legs when traveling. My family and pets loved it.
Trail conditions & character
“The main perk is a 3h public parking 9am to 6pm except sunday and a "gold bug stamp mill".”
“Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful place but the pictures on here that I’m seeing so it’s like a little pond.”
“I won’t be back unless someone tells me that there is a pond somewhere close by and I can walk around with my little dog.”
