Confirmed from City Center 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 with multiple playgrounds, picnic tables and a basketball court.
What runners say about City Center Park
“While this is clean and wholesome, I really worried watching such young children ingest dirty water.”
“The playground is shaded so it's a great place to dry off when you're done in the sun.”
Absolutely wonderful park! It’s very shaded, wonderful for toddlers! Could most definitely spend a full day here!
City Center Park – Review - Location: Centrally located, convenient for downtown visitors or workers looking for a quick break. - Vibe: Small but clean and well-maintained urban green space. - Features: Benches, walking paths, public art, and seasonal landscaping.
We were looking for my 3 yr old grandson to have his first snow sled experience and I remembered the small baby hill from summertime yo practice on. My daughter pointed to a taller half hill by the restrooms. There are some obstacles to be aware of but we all had a blast!!!!
Perfect little park to stop by right in town. Has swings, slides, monkey bars and a splash pad. The running trail goes right through the park. The place is kept really clean.

“Plenty of parking nearby, but get there early for the close spots if you have very small kids.”
