Confirmed from Civic Center Park Madison Heights' 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.
Amenities include a playground, grills, athletic courts & fields, sledding hills & a skate park.

“This is a beautiful and very clean park with lots of picnic areas, walking paths, and two different-sized playgrounds.”
Simple park with a short paved walking path. Not what I look for in a park but it would probably be a great place for a picnic. I did not like that the trees were not labelled with the name of the tree, merely who donated it, but I’m just a plant nerd.
This is our favorite local sledding hill. We love that there is a smaller hill for the little kids as well. Nice place for a walk or to enjoy the park.

Nice place, a lot of space. Good walking trail with some info bits along the way. Decent size park for kids to play on. The fire department is right across the park so that's kinda good for a safety net.
