Confirmed from Boardman 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.
227-acre green space offering a wide variety of recreational facilities, plus a dog park.

It feels larger once you are among the dense, tall trees. Impressive playground facilities around the perimeter but inside the woods there are 4 miles of paved and hardpacked trails with a couple of bridges crossing the small stream. A fine small park.

Beautiful place for a nice quiet walk or to take kids to the play grounds (we saw at least 3 different sets of equipment!). The grounds are beautifully landscaped, tons of pavilions, trails, play areas, historical villiage and church, restrooms...and its CLEAN!!!
The trails are always in excellent condition and the park is continuously updating to make more areas accessible. The wildlife are cautious, but able to be captured on film. Very pet and kid friendly. The play areas are kept clean. Lots of places to explore.
