Confirmed from Fulton 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.
Recreation space featuring a playground with sandpits & swings, plus an open lawn & jogging course.
What runners say about Fulton Park
“Neat and clean park , plenty of parking nice experience walking with my dog.”
Clean park, plenty of grassy space and street parking. They have a walking trail, playground, tables and benches, swings, sand (no wood chips). Great place to walk your dog, take toddlers and kids, take a walk/jog or have a picnic.
Next to Fulton Middle School and a great park for students to use as an extension of the school track and grass area. The shade tree is great and walking paths for community green fields is awesome.
Big open park with lots of room to run and play. The top of the hillside catches all the wind, so when it's cold, it's really cold. There is a structure for parking as well as on the street. Nice residential area.
The playground is small but there is a picnic bench and an awesome and beautiful grassy hill to run and play ball on. Very peaceful and great air flow. Not much shade so bring sunscreen!
