Confirmed from Carolyn Ludwig Mugrage 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.
Family-friendly green space with a large playground, a fishing pond & a spacious fenced dog run.

“It's a "normal" people park too, so you can take your dogs for a calm leashed walk once they're tired out.”
Fantastic dog park - the best I've been to. It's huge, fully fenced in, and has separate small (1 acre) and large (6 acres) dog areas, restrooms, water fountains (for humans and dogs) and a "hose off your dog" station. The large dog area even has trails in the woods to walk around.
This park is the place to let your kids &/or dogs come to romp. Fantastic playground for kids, fishing in the pond (3 catch limit per day), paved walk around the pond and through the woods, and a wonderful dog run area.
A beautiful area to enjoy nature. There is a top class playground with foam flooring and very spacious. A stocked pond to fish or have a picnic lunch by. They also have a paved trail and nature trail. The paved has a story walk so younger children can read a book as you go along the path.
Hiked the trails. They were very well-marked and it is a fairly level trek. Nice fishing pond. Beautiful playground for kids. Nice covered Pavilion area to picnic. And of course there are two different dog fenced parks one for large dogs and one for small dogs less than 30#.
