We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Chatfield Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Had a great time with elderly father, walking , clean, safe for all.”

Nice track and little hiking path. Big Pavillion for picnics and partys

★★★★★ — Victoria , Oct 2022

Cute little park. There is a paved walking path around a field and dirt paths though the woods. Plenty of seating and little nooks to sit and enjoy the scenery. A sensory playground was recently added for the kids. If you have an hour, go visit!

★★★★★ — Matthew , Sep 2025

The park is well kept. There is a walking track. It has baseball field and basketball court. It has parking lot. It also has walking trails with some interesting facts on the trees. I love that they have a little free library.

★★★★☆ — Flor , Apr 2025

Nice little park with walking paths, baseball and basketball. Playground, picnic tables under a pavilion. Parking on both sides of the park. Huge hill for tubing in the winter.

★★★★☆ — Gina , Sep 2022
