Confirmed from Chatham Community 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.
Family-friendly park featuring baseball fields, playgrounds, tennis courts and picnic areas.
What runners say about Chatham Community Park
“Excellent playground and clean bathrooms.”
Came here for the sweet corn festival. What a well run event and we appreciated the handicapped parking! The corn was so delicious and the scent of it filled the air!!
I live nearby and regularly walk at the park. It is clean and well kept. It would be nice if there were a few garbage cans along the path.
This is a fantastic park. You can take your animals there and walk them or you can play sports or even join teams very nice place.
Trail conditions & character
“We go to Pawsapalooza/Kite Festival, Sweet Corn Festival, Scottish Games, and Christmas "Light Up the Park" event!”
