Confirmed from Charles 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 featuring a playground with slides, swings and monkey bars, plus tennis courts.
What runners say about Charles Park
“The restrooms are always clean jogging trails well kept.”
“Charles Park is a pleasant neighborhood park with beautiful lawns and greenery.”
“The fitness trails provide an area for users to workout in a natural, outdoor, shaded, woodsy setting.”
“My kids enjoy the monkey bars and there are climbing structures for all ages.”
Charles Park is a pleasant neighborhood park with beautiful lawns and greenery. The park has nice restroom facilities and a large playarea for children, with lots of recreational equipment for elementary school age children and younger. Covered picnic tables are available.
Good place to walk, or have the little ones play on the playground. The shaded picnic areas are a plus.
Fun little park with equipment for children of all ages. It has toddler swings, jungle gyms, several slides, monkey bars and more. There are several covered picnic tables and benches, a jogging track and volleyball net. There are restrooms and a water fountain as well!
We absolutly love the newly upgraded playground. We had never been here before. I hope they are planning to upgrade the fitness trail equipment also, right now it's not safe to use as is.
