Confirmed from Cheshire 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.
Small park featuring basketball and tennis courts, picnic facilities and a playground.
What runners say about Cheshire Park
Nice and clean easy walking in trails, good for elderly people. Very peaceful . Quiet, and alot of painted rocks by artist,very nice to see how people care about health care workers. Go see beautiful ,place for a stroll in shade.
Though the park is small, there’s still plenty of trails to discover while enjoying a nice leisurely stroll in nature!
I really liked hiking the trails with my family. Afterwards we walked over to the playground so my son could play. Nice family park with sports fields and a pavilion with charcoal grills. Park can be packed if an event is going on.
A hidden gem for dog owners... lots of trails... but everyone needs to remember to carry out waste.
