Confirmed from Fisher Meadows' 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 soccer fields and trails, plus a playground, picnic tables, and boating.
What runners say about Fisher Meadows
“The trails are well kept but it does flood easily after heavy rains so you sometimes can't go fully around the trail.”
“Nice sport field with trails loop around beautiful pond and river .”
Nice sport field with trails loop around beautiful pond and river . Nice place to do bird watching too.
I love walking here in the morning and afternoons. Great for bird watching along the banks of the pond. The trails are well kept but it does flood easily after heavy rains so you sometimes can't go fully around the trail.
4.2.22 Very easy path along the river that's more of a stroll vs a hike. Family friendly, lots of people with dogs, pretty views of the river and pond.
Nice open space, which is a mix of sports fields, public-use space (like the gaga pit), a pond, and public walking/hiking trails. There's also a small picnic area with a grill and playground. Fishing is available in the pond, and sometimes the local Crew teams practice there.
