Confirmed from Glenn Meadows 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 Glenn Meadows Park
“Clean bathrooms, 3 covered picnic areas and a soccer field make it great for BBQ or birthday parties.”
“The park has a sand base but is covered with shade.”
“Sports facilities and an all ages playground.”
This is such a fun park and other people are rarely at it so the kids get the park to themselves. It has lots of great different areas, like the playground, covered picnic areas, volleyball court, basketball courts, fun little trails to run/walk on and soccer fields.
The park is pretty clean it's nice the play area is shaded I guess it's a good part but it's windy I think all of safford is windy so if you like wind and you like to look at mountains and grass and kids playing this is a nice part if you don't like the wind you can stay in your trailer.
Love the remodel. There are park benches, picnic tables, basketball courts, vollyball pit and a field for soccer and baseball. Across the street is a section of a really nice walking path (out and back).
From my experience it's not a bad place. But I stopped here to run around with my pup this morning. It was too cold to say as to wether it gets busy. Too early and too cold for anyone to have been there when I was I suppose. But it's clean. Places for children to play. The park is rather small with homes around.
