Confirmed from Ford Heritage 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.
What runners say about Ford Heritage Park
“The parking areas and pathways are well maintained and the park overall was very clean which was very nice.”
“beautiful sunset spot, restrooms, walking paths and big fields”
One of my family’s favorite parks. We affectionately call it “rock park” because of the huge rock structure in the middle. There’s many swings, slides and different obstacles for different age levels. The park also has great soccer and baseball fields as well as a nice nature walk with a few different paths.
A nice park for a sunshine day. It has a huge kids play area, soccer field, dog walk , running trails and football field. It gets crowded during weekends / evenings. Access is from Textile road, ample parking . If you are bug phobic, carry your bug spray with you in the evenings.
Super great park! We stopped by to kill some time and ended up picnicking and enjoying some time on the swings. They have soccer fields and baseball fields too and while we didnt do much exploring it looked like a few paths for joggers and bikers. If we lived closer we'd be making a lot more visits.
Love this park! We're so lucky to have such a great park near our house. The playground equipment is well maintained and offers a safe play place for even the youngest of kids. The nature trails are great - we use them all year round!
