Confirmed from Ewing Park ll'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.
Kid-friendly park with a playground and baseball fields as well as a wooded area for bird-watching.
What runners say about Ewing Park ll
Ewing Park is such an interesting place. For the kids and family it has a playground and shelter, surrounded by lots of open space. For the nature and bird watching person, this is a little slice of Bloomington heaven.
This is an outstanding park for walking dogs. There is a creek, trails, and lots of open space. Just a beautiful place to be.
Very enjoyable park! Plenty of shade for warm days and two separate playsets to give kids lots of choices. The swings are kind of high off the ground, so younger kids will probably need help getting in and out, but they work well.
It is a nice park to either go walk a trail or just enjoy some sun. Pet friendly it seemed and had open space for playing with your furry friends! There are two baseball fields which I have many memories Bathrooms on sight but seem to always be locked when ever I go.
