Confirmed from Chateau 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 offering open grassy areas, play equipment, a basketball court & a paved walking path.
What runners say about Chateau Park
“Very quiet, clean, and maintained park located conveniently in the neighborhood for many years now.”
“It has a wheelchair accessible ramp, some spinning chairs, an inclusive swingset, and extra shade.”
great park, love the walking trail. It's always clean, well kept, with people using it. There's a pairings area, picnic tables, large grass field, walking trail, bathrooms, and mature trees.
The best thing about this park is that it is never crowded. There is so much grass for the kids to run. There is a picnic area & bathrooms right by the playground.
This park has been beautifully updated. It has a wheelchair accessible ramp, some spinning chairs, an inclusive swingset, and extra shade. Unfortunately, there’s no longer a dinosaur slide here, but there are so many other activities. I also love the circular walking path with mature trees and covered pavilion area.
Great park with lots of grass for sports practices. Including 2 basketball hoops, a chain link baseball backstop and lots of grass for soccer practices . A good size play ground and shelter that can be rented out. Good for kids around 8 or 9 years of age and under.
