Confirmed from Cromwell 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.
Clean neighborhood park with a playset, basketball hoops and baseball diamond.
What runners say about Cromwell Park
“It's a great, clean place to take your kids, hang out in the sun or shade, enjoy some sports, or otherwise just get outside for a bit.”
“It has a good playground and a lot of beautiful grass.”
“Although it is right alongside Meridian and not far from the I-5, it seemed pleasantly quiet and serene.”
“Also a dog friendly park with water and some ducks.”
Pretty basic as far as parks go. There's a swing set and another playground area, as well as some very short trails to walk around the little pond area and grassy fields. There's a parking lot by the courthouse as well as a park specific parking area.
Great little park. Conveniently located. Great for going on relaxing walks. Amphitheater is excellent to host events. I really like that you can check the real time availability online and book it without any hassles. There is a cute little children’s play area right next to play field.
Cromwell Park is a wonderful little community hub. It's a great, clean place to take your kids, hang out in the sun or shade, enjoy some sports, or otherwise just get outside for a bit.
Rented the gazebo/pavilion/stage area for an all day event. Great venue, completely affordable price. Easy to find. Beautiful park. Well maintained. Nice paved sidewalk trails. Good parking. If someone has special needs walking (Grans to Toddlers to Others), easy getting around. Bathrooms were in good shape.
