Confirmed from Eisenhower 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.
Family-friendly recreation space featuring multiple playgrounds, tennis courts, picnic tables, and a splash pad.
What runners say about Eisenhower Park
“An awesome place for the kids to play and cool off and very clean”
“They have a beautiful walking trail .”
“Playgroun for all ages, splash pad, tennis courts, pickleball courts and trails with a story book walk, dog park in the back and bball court.”
We went looking for mushrooms and didn't really find any. But we wound up hiking along a brook that meandered through groves of older trees. It was quite beautiful. The park also has ample space for sports playing fields and even showed signs of horseback riding.
Great place . They have a beautiful walking trail . With story time on it. Love the hiking area. To bad the lake ain’t there anymore. I use to go swimming here. Saw as lot deer, some people horse back riding. There a splash pad for the kids, playground, tennis courts, baseball field, and a soccer field .
As Marrying a girl from Milford I sort of adapted it as my second home. It has a lot to offer residents. I found a DIAMOND in the rough! Eisehower Park is an up and comming residential park on the outdoor of the town near the town of Orange border.
Went here with the CT Foraging Club. The area was very peaceful and pretty. Perfect atmosphere for a crisp autumn hike. The pathway isn’t difficult to walk either, most people will be able to use it
