Confirmed from Falls 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 with playgrounds, a swimming pool, a sports complex & a golf course, plus trails & a creek.
What runners say about Falls Park
“This park is always so clean and nice.”
“It was such a beautiful wedding and not a lot of people know that you can rent out the cabin, barn and community building for your event.”
“The north entrance is quiet and has a beautifully restored log cabin with a pond behind it.”
Nice views and a fun park for the kids. They have a big and little playground for kids of all ages. They have a trail for walking around the falls and seeing the park. They have a lot of seats to just appreciate the views.
This remains a beautiful and safe park with ample playground equipment, lots of green space, hiking trails, and a surprising amount of historical markers relating to an ugly situation between abolitionist and pro-slavery men and women, as well as expansionist settlers and local natives.
We love our park! The north entrance is quiet and has a beautifully restored log cabin with a pond behind it. The north entrance also has a barn that can be rented for events plus nice public bathrooms.
Brought my grandson here last week, and he loved it. The new playground is really nice but I'm not sure how long that astroturf will last. Love coming here. Nice trails, and you can play in the water by the waterfall.
