Confirmed from Chelsie Meadows 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.
8-acre park offering a picnic pavilion & walking trail, plus tennis/basketball courts & playgrounds.
What runners say about Chelsie Meadows Park
“The park was clean and well maintained.”
“This is a cute playground with a pavilion right next to the park so parents can watch their children from the shade.”
“Dogs are welcomed and they have a poop bag station right at the parking lot.”
This is a nice local park I visit often. There's a walking path that goes all the way around the park, lots of grass areas, basketball and tennis courts, a playground, sand volleyball, a picnic table area, and bathrooms. Dogs are welcomed and they have a poop bag station right at the parking lot.
I've been coming to this park since I was a kid. It's pretty great! There's lots of space and there's open soccer fields, a volleyball court/sandbox, tennis court, two playgrounds, picnic tables with public BBQ spots, a restroom, a walking/biking trail, amd in the winter there are small hills that are great for bunny…
The park was clean and well maintained. Bathrooms were clean for a public park and while there was a large covered pavilion, it seemed to be overrun by wasps with massive nests. As far as the 2 playgrounds go, they were clean and maintained, but rather simplistic compared to some other, newer parks.
Fun park with 2 playgrounds. One for smaller children and the larger park for bigger kids.No swings. Cool paved walkway around the park. 2 full size basketball courts, 2 tennis courts, an overhang with 2 barbecues, tables & benches, volleyball court with sand as well as a mens and womens bathroom and a water fountain.

“Lots of space to play - basketball courts, tennis courts, 2 jungle gyms, sandpit (aka sand volleyball court), 3 large grassy areas to run the dog & kids in.”
“It's usually not too crowded during the evenings that I've been, usually people waking with their dogs on the path.”
“I think it might be time for a revamp to add some new, brighter lights to make the park safer at night.”
“Dogs are welcomed and they have a poop bag station right at the parking lot.”

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- SurfaceCrushed gravel — the rail-trail classic: softer than asphalt, still smooth enough for tempo work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeRunners describe real tree cover here — it makes a summer afternoon workable
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- At the trailheadparking, restrooms, water — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
