Confirmed from Corwin M Nixon 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.
A 82-acre preserve including an arboretum, fishing lakes, a sledding hill & peaceful nature trails.
What runners say about Corwin M Nixon Park
“Excellent trails: paved, chip-wood, deep woods & lake side; winter sledding; two shelters; large fenced playground; very dog friendly; and clean restrooms.”
“Absolutely beautiful park that I didn't know Mason had and I have lived in Mason for 11 years.”
We are traveling in our RV from Fl to my daughters house in Buffalo then home to Long Island. We stopped in Mason for the night and decided to find a place to walk after driving all day. This is a beautiful park! Great walking trails, beautiful scenery, safe and clean. The people we passed all said hello.
Always in a state being fixed. This park has updated it's kid area making it better as of 2021. Great for kids that are young because it's gated. Walking path is decent, almost a mile.
This is a great park. It’s within walking distance of our home. We go to the park frequently by walking, riding bikes or in the car. It has lots of open fields for sports or flying kites/drones. A trail for walking and bike riding. Playground equipment for the kids to enjoy and some baseball fields for organized games.
Nice playground, pretty park, lots of trees and about 1 mile circular trail.
