Confirmed from Eastside 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.
Park with picnic areas, a playground, tennis courts, a baseball field, and an ice rink.
What runners say about Eastside Park
Nice neighborhood park with a children's play area, tennis courts, basketball court, ice rink, soccer field, baseball field, and a parking lot. The area which seems to get the most use is the children's play area but it is wonderful that the rest is available, encouraging youth to get outside.
This is a nice little park with a number of amenities. It has a playground with a covered picnic area nearby. For sports there is a baseball diamond, a field used for soccer, a tennis court and a basketball court. There is also a hockey rink for both winter and summer (roller skating).
