Confirmed from Century 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.
Preserve with various sports fields, a stadium, recreation centers & spacious playgrounds.
What runners say about Century Park
“Everything looked clean and well maintained, a simple but lovely place to spend some quiet time.”
“The playground itself didn't have a lot of shade, but there was a splash pad right next to it for the kids to run thru as well as plenty of trees or covered shelters nearby!”
“The area was calm and peaceful, perfect for a short walk or just to relax.”
“A really large and fun playground area, technically two playground areas, and equipment for children of all ages to use.”
Absolutely love this park! Lots of parking available, public restrooms, a snow cone pavilion (for summer) and tons of space for kids to run around and play! My newest discovery there was the climbing wall with twin slides alongside it! So much fun!
It was a really nice park. The area was calm and peaceful, perfect for a short walk or just to relax. Everything looked clean and well maintained, a simple but lovely place to spend some quiet time.
By far our favorite park! The kids had the best time! The playground itself didn't have a lot of shade, but there was a splash pad right next to it for the kids to run thru as well as plenty of trees or covered shelters nearby! Definitely recommend!
Century Park is great for a specific kind of visit: the playground and hosting parties. The playground area is strong, and the rental/party setup is reasonable, which makes it a useful park for birthdays or group gatherings. Outside of that, there isn’t a ton to do here.

“I went here with my 12 yr old grandson and his mother, we took a walk along the paved path and used the exercise equipment according to the posted instructions.”
“My only downside is the water fountain is in direct sunlight and is scalding hot.”
“It is mostly all accessible while pushing a stroller.”
