Confirmed from Coleman 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.
Recreational park with a playground, soccer and baseball fields, a walking path, and a pond.
What runners say about Coleman Park
“My granddaughter plays soccer here its such a nice clean park the play ground is nice I love the view of the pond .”
“Beautiful park with a soccer field, baseball field, picnic tables and grills, and an informal trail to go on.”
Would love to know who runs and maintains the park. Would love to establish a kickball or an adult “just for fun” league. Does it cost to play or use? What is the schedule? Can a group just show up?
Beautiful park with a soccer field, baseball field, picnic tables and grills, and an informal trail to go on. Some guy in a brown Ford F-150 will creep on you though.
