Confirmed from Ella V Osterman 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.
What runners say about Ella V Osterman Park
“) and a very beautiful gazebo with tables and benches, that the trees give some shade during the hot months and a big area just with grass to run around or play with a drone”
This park needs two things: swings and a car park . It always feels a bit awkward to park by the houses close by and I noticed sometimes people just leave the cars by the round about!
I love this park. The playground is good and there's little trails through the woods that ring the park. There's even a little bmx park on the side next to the golf course
Nice park for a short walk, there is a playground for kids, and we sow a rabbit feeding on leaves in the blackberrybushes.
Pretty place for a picnic and short walks. Calming and beautiful scenery.
