Confirmed from City Pond 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.
Public green space offering a playground, a small walking trail, and a pond.
What runners say about City Pond Park
“Unlike previous reviewers I found the equipment to be clean and in good maintenance.”
“Very peaceful little place, the sound of the flowing water was very relaxing!”
It's a good little park. It has a small walking trail, swings, slides, and places to fish. The playground equipment is in full sun all day so the equipment is faded a little and it's hot.
As far as Winder parks go, it's pretty good. Drawbacks include no shade, dated playground, and muddy environment if it's just rained. Also, no restrooms. But kids don't really care about all of that. Good things include a great concrete path to ride bikes or toys.
It could use some sprucing up but it is a nice park with plenty of grass, water, and places to sit and play for adults and children. There are shade trees. There is a stream and a lake. Overall it's a good park. There is a paved path that is good for younger children to ride scooters or bikes or for adults to walk.
What a hidden gem! There were two sets of swings, plenty of slides and things to crawl on, and a walking path around it. Our kids--ages ranging from 2-12--all had a blast. We will go back!
