Confirmed from Copley Community 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.
Relaxed open space featuring playgrounds, baseball fields, and ponds teeming with turtles and waterfowl.
What runners say about Copley Community Park
“The section of trail through the wooded area that is not paved is very well maintained by the parks department.”
“It’s always been beautiful, love the trails, friendly passersby, cute pond, great pavilions, brand new workout equipment!”
Great little park. The short walking trails are wide open and most are paved. The section of trail through the wooded area that is not paved is very well maintained by the parks department. Definitely take time to check out the turtles, fish and various birds that are always out on the lake!
Beautiful trails, clean trails. Always a nice place to go for a run or walk.
This park has everything: a lake with charming turtles, swans, ducks and plenty of fish, beautiful wooded areas, serene off-trail paths, several grass fields, kids playgrounds, a recently added exercise/open gym area, nice shelters for people to have gatherings and it’s located right in the heart of Copley!
I love my local park! It’s always been beautiful, love the trails, friendly passersby, cute pond, great pavilions, brand new workout equipment!
