Confirmed from Foxhill 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.
Shady green space with a playground for ages 5 and under, plus trails for walking and biking.
What runners say about Foxhill Park
“Bathrooms on site by the play areas and usually they're pretty clean.”
“Great place to meditate, fly a kite, and enjoy Bowie's picturesque setting.”
“We came here to eat our takeout food because it is usually quiet these days.”
A wonderful park, a huge community of pickle ball players come together here to play on the tennis courts! Great sports fields, so many different groups gather at this park! The covered awning is awesome. The bathroom house makes this park work for every one.
Beautiful park and walking trails near a turtle pond behind a subdivision. Highly recommend walking here during the day.
We came here to eat our takeout food because it is usually quiet these days. Only a couple of cars were parked in the lot, not counting the two cop cars, whose occupants appeared to be casually monitoring the happenings here while they had a conversation between the vehicles.
We call this park "the spinny park" because so many things on the playground spin. The play area is great for all ages, and has a variety of sports fields and courts. (Baseball/kickball, tennis, basketball) There is also a sidewalk that is great for scooters and wheeled toys.
