Confirmed from Centennial 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.
City park with ball fields, a running track, tennis & basketball courts & a playground.
What runners say about Centennial Park
“Centennial Park is a clean park and it invites family and dogs are family too.”
“This park is a beautiful spot covered mostly with tall shaded trees.”
This park is really nice. It has a nice trail to walk or ride bikes. The perk of the trail is that it’s pretty visible from the playground area to keep an eye on little explorers or adventurers. The playground was really cool as well. It offered different play structures for different age groups.
Disc golf course is fun. There are 9 holes but extra pads for each hole to make 18. A few challenges for new players early on at 1 and 3. Hole 4 is very short but has elevation change and a slight tree hazard if you get too far off path with your disc.
Nice park. There is a half mile path to walk on. There’s a water park for the summer, a small area for kids to climb, a swing, a volleyball net but it’s in sand. There’s also an area for horseshoes but I’ve seen people use it to practice their golf chip shot. There is also 6 nets around the park for frisbee golf.
Centennial Park is a clean park and it invites family and dogs are family too. If you decide to walk the park for health reasons or sit at the bench and watch the kids playing on the playground enjoying the swings just being kids and laughter on their faces makes it all worth while.
