Confirmed from Big Meadow 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.
What runners say about Big Meadow Park
“Clean park with plenty of rubbish bins, soft bouncy turf under the playground equipment, plenty of benches, and doggie bags.”
Clean park with plenty of rubbish bins, soft bouncy turf under the playground equipment, plenty of benches, and doggie bags. Great place for a walk or to relax. The playground equipment and benches are starting to show their age though.
A nice park for it's small size. Best for small children and walking the dog. It's also a great place to sit on the bench, list to the frogs, and calm down after a long day.
Nice neighborhood Park, small but well maintained. Most people are considerate and clean up after their dogs but there are those that don't take responsibility and leave piles so beware when walking in the grass.
