Confirmed from Glidden 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.
Park offering a playground, basketball and tennis courts, plus a jogging path and picnic tables.
What runners say about Glidden Park
“It's unfortunate that the playground is full sun, but it's a nice clean park.”
“This is small quiet park to visit and let your kids stretch their legs.”
Love walking the track, but bathrooms were locked for no apparent reason one day and I had to call the city hall to have them come open it...plus they need to do something with old hockey rink thing..it's an eye sore..
This is small quiet park to visit and let your kids stretch their legs. A big grassy field and a small walking path are nearby. Tennis court and basketball hoops are down the road. Along with a place to race RC cars.
Trail conditions & character
“Great playground, no current bathrooms seemed to be under construction and others were only open seasonally and we went on an abnormally warm February day.”
