Confirmed from Castaldo 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.
Local park with 11 acres of multi-use fields, play areas, a volleyball court & a disc-golf course.
What runners say about Castaldo Park
“The park is always pretty clean, hasn't felt crowded the few times we went, and has plenty to offer.”
“Volleyball, frisbee golf, and a park amongst beautiful rolling hills & oak trees.”
The park is always pretty clean, hasn't felt crowded the few times we went, and has plenty to offer. We enjoy just walking the bike path that cuts from north to south and there are a few other turns to take, if you're looking for a longer run or ride, which connect to the larger path network in the area.
Been to and through this park a few times. There is a playground, several picnic tables and a gazebo that is used often for gatherings. The gazebo is close to the playground and the picnic tables are all towards the parking lot There is also a volleyball sand court and disc golf as well.
Although this is a 9- hole course with just a couple of long holes, it was very much fun! First few run thru these electric towers then the rest thru a nice park with nice trees. Wintry mix on the ground with wind and temp about 38 degrees Fahrenheit, the ground in some areas was pretty wet but playable.
Beautiful little park, very well keep. Nice trail for walking with some foot / bike thru traffic. Nice kids play ground. Lots of picnic tables. And well keep 9 hole disc golf course. Much of the holes are around 250 ft. Nice concrete tee pads and good baskets. Relatively clear fairways and quick play.
