Confirmed from Ellsworth 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 featuring baseball fields & tennis courts as well as a kids' playground & splash pad.
What runners say about Ellsworth Park
“) clean bathrooms, cold water fountains and friendly Blackrock locals all combine to make Ellsworth a hidden jewel in the Park City!”
This is a neighborhood park. It has a decent size field, small playground and spray area, public bathrooms, and baseball diamond. This is a great space for kids to run around, and have a picnic, but bring your own blanket/ folding chairs because there are not picnic tables at this park.
My family and I love going here. Its walking distance from our residence which makes it convenient. It's always very clean and well kept. There is also alot to do and the splash pad is perfect for summer weather.
This park is GREAT!! My granddaughter had a wonderful time, climbing, sliding and running. It's extremely clean with numerous garbage cans.
