Confirmed from Eureka 2'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.
Playground with an accessible merry-go-round, adaptive swings, a rock wall, a zip-line & more.
What runners say about Eureka 2
“The maintenance is well kept with relaxing views of nature.”
“A great park for kids of all ages, and perfect for a peaceful walk in nature.”
Well maintained park! All of the play features were in good working condition. Lots of shaded areas & places to sit down. Well maintained tennis courts, basketball court, and running restrooms. Pavilions with grills scattered throughout the park. Lots of open space for frisbee, football, etc.
A great park for kids of all ages, and perfect for a peaceful walk in nature.
I love this park! It’s clean with plenty of paved and unpaved walking space. Plenty of parking. There are two medium to large size ponds (or are they small lakes?) with fish and ducks. They have a playground too. To the left of the playground, across the grass is the entrance to the unpaved trails. It’s so nice!
My kids and I have been visiting here for several years. We were there just after it was built and still love to go after the remodel. Lots of activities at the playground and long trails to walk make for great days if the weather will hold out. We recommend the woods trail and a stroll around the pond.
