Confirmed from Central 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.
Relaxed recreation spot with shaded picnic areas, playgrounds and a creek.
What runners say about Central Park
“Love this park, it's big and clean and fun for the kids.”
“Shade canopies over playground.”
Nice little park for an easy walk on their two 0.47 mile trails. Plenty of space to spread out with a family or lounge around and relax with friends. Splash park, playground area, covered picnic table area, large sound theater with concrete seating area
We love this park! It has something for everyone. Covered Playgrounds, swings, walking trails, big open field for all sorts of sports, a pavilion, bench seating, volleyball courts and so much more. We also attend all of the different activities they have including 4th Of July!!
Big place, lots to do. Rather you're a toddler to a teen, there's so much to do. There's a splash pad, basketball, skateboard, picnic and a mile and 2 mile walk round the sidewalk track.
Very cool place for walks. Great place for water adventures. It's always clean and nice to be here. The toilets are always clean, which is important when you have a child.
Trail conditions & character
“Just need to be mindful that there are copperhead snakes around the brush and trees in the back, especially in the evenings, so it's best to remain on the paved path.”
