Confirmed from Ellendale 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, quiet park with picnic tables and playgrounds, plus a baseball field.

My son practices football at this park. It has a trail, tennis courts, baseball, and football fields. It is a good size park. There is a small playground area next to the tennis courts. Parking leaves MUCH to be desired. The parking lot is tight.
The park has good trails for walking that have a nice gentle up and down to get good exercise. There's always lots of parking and the newly built bathrooms are nice (although rarely unlocked) The summer storms took out quite a few trees, so the foliage coverage is a little more bare on the pavilion side, but you can…
Been going to this park for a little over 20 years. Still a good spot to go to. Has 2 baseball/softball fields, restrooms, tennis courts, swings, slides, large covered area with grills, and walking trails.
