Confirmed from Chandler 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 providing a playground and picnic areas, plus a farmers market.
What runners say about Chandler Park
“Clean, peaceful, and family-friendly with a nice playground and plenty of seating areas at the heart of the Macomb city.”
“Scored some beautiful produce, getting knives sharpened, wished I had saved enough to get one of the shitake mushrooms.”
It's a great park for the kids! I just wish there was a gate there at the entrance since the kids are playing so close to the road or some benches so the parents can sit there and watch their kids and see If anyones kids run out of the park being it's so close to the road. But the playground is lots of fun.
Beautiful park with lots of open space and shade. Great for a walk, picnic, or just relaxing. Clean, peaceful, and family-friendly with a nice playground and plenty of seating areas at the heart of the Macomb city.
Whwn Moses (my dog) and I take walks the halfway point is Chandler Park. It's so beautiful and we'll maintained, and Moses always finds new smells!
Nicely groomed park. Lots of shade. Always great when the flags are displayed on the holidays.
