Confirmed from Cliveden 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.
Shaded greenspace with swings, slides and a jungle gym for kids.

Cliveden park is one of my go to areas to gather with friends to play pokemon go. The park is clean and big enough to walk around and catch some of the pokemon in the nest.
Neighborhood park that has a playground for small kids. Lots of space and grass to walk your dog. There is a committee that organizes activities in the park. In the summer there are movie nights. Cleanups throughout the year. There is a yearly fish/chicken fry (the food is amazing).
It's a pretty nice quiet park at times.. Nice place to walk a dog uninterrupted... There are times it's rowdy because of cookouts and kids but it's rare...I wouldn't suggest going after dark though.. But other then that it's a well maintained area 👍👍👍
