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.
Baseball field, basketball court, gazebos, swings and a playground in a clean, shaded park.
What runners say about Bicentennial Park
“It was clean , spacious, has a playground for the kids, picnic tables so that you can have an outing with the family”
“Shaded picnic area, and shaded kiddy playground.”
Nice park, kind of deep in the neighborhood, which is really dark at night. It's brand new & very nice looking. Has walking trails a bridge & is kept really clean. Great for a family picnic or a birthday party. There is plenty of room for throwing a football around or playing soccer. It has a huge baseball field.
Restrooms — yay! Fully paved; so bring your walker or scooter. Baseball diamond; so bring your mitt. It's even got a four station workout trail; so bring your lazy behind! Shaded picnic area, and shaded kiddy playground. Nice and quiet. Surprise library and civic centers only one street over. What a gem!
It's a nice place too take your dog for a walk on the trails and you can always pitch stop at the 3workout stations right off the trail if you really want to get your work good cardio👍🌑🐕🚶♂️
