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.
Park with a playground, picnic tables, and a field, plus a restroom.
What runners say about Central Park
“Nice small park near Newport and Haun roads with well kept grass, walkways and seems the lighting is sufficient (I was here during daylight).”
“Beautiful place to get away and relax.”
Nice small park near Newport and Haun roads with well kept grass, walkways and seems the lighting is sufficient (I was here during daylight). There is also a small raised area for events. It is near a walking trail the goes along Haun Road that has exercise equipment along the way.
Me and my wife love taking strolls in the park and we also like to walk our dogs there as well. We go early most times. They do have a playground for the kiddos. They also have a place for pets to hydrate.
Great park for toddlers (2 yrs -5yr) Structure is perfect for the little ones to run around & access themselves. Really catered to toddlers because of the size of the structure. Bathrooms near by. Plenty of benches around structure. Grassy area nearby for kids to run around. Plenty of parking in parking lot..
Overall it was a very nice park. Lots of parking spaces. Big field for a picnic and running. The playground area is small and not covered but it does have tables and restrooms.
