Confirmed from Elizabeth 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 riverside recreation area with pony rides, concessions, fishing spots & walking paths.
What runners say about Elizabeth Park
“Chateau at Elizabeth Park is a beautiful and well-maintained spot along the river.”
“The park is absolutely beautiful; and the beauty came through even with 10,000-15,000 people coming in with chairs, tents, RVs, and on foot!”
“The historic building has a charming, elegant feel, and the surrounding park is perfect for walking, photos, or simply enjoying some quiet time outdoors.”
One of the most beautiful parks I've been to for capturing wedding photos. There are plenty of scenic spots with stunning views. And at golden hour, it is so gorgeous! I’d definitely come back for future photo sessions.
Absolute serenity! Bring your play shoes as the geese and ducks run rampant (poo everywhere). But, well worth that price of admission. My daughter had a blast just walking! Do yourself a favor and check out this fantastic park!

We always have a wonderful time here. Baby showers, Grad parties, Bday parties, or just some fun family time outdoors. The water is gorgeous. There is a baseball diamond and multiple playgrounds. Pony rides in summer. Bathrooms were clean which I always appreciate.
