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.
A wide variety of sports facilities from disc golf to hockey, plus a playground & a picnic pavilion.
What runners say about Central Park
“There's something so special here that America needs to see, Blacks White's Muslims Asains adults teens kids all getting along at this well kept Gem.”
“Fun family friendly sledding hill.”
Great place for kids of all ages. Very spacious. Lots of open areas for extremely energetic children to run around.
This place is amazing. There's something so special here that America needs to see, Blacks White's Muslims Asains adults teens kids all getting along at this well kept Gem.
I grew up going to this park. It has an excellent disc golf course, a great hill for sledding, a basketball court, tennis courts, a nice playground, a pavilion that is also a Pokemon Go gym and a few more pokestops if you're walking or biking around the park paths.
This park has quite a nice setup. There is a football/soccer field, disc golf, ice rink, golf course (not sure how many holes or information on that), horseshoe, sledding hill, jungle gym, and tons of paths among other items. The disc golf course hole 1 tee is on the west side of the park in the middle.
Trail conditions & character
“It has a hill for sledding in the winter also three ice rinks, Year round frisbee golf and in the spring and summer a great play ground for the kids.”
