Confirmed from Harold Long 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.
Clean, grassy park featuring a playground and a network of walking trails.
What runners say about Harold Long Park
“Cute, clean park with lots of grass and updated playground structure.”
Great place to take your kids and take a walk!!! They've added a lot of neat playground equipment, and still has a couple areas to kick the soccer ball around or toss the pigskin!
Cute, clean park with lots of grass and updated playground structure. There’s a walking path around the park and a sign that says 3 times around equals a mile. Also has a lovely little free library that has a great selection of children’s books. We all enjoyed our time here!
Walking track around the park, lots of trees for shade, and fun play equipment. New play structures have been added in recent years, there is plenty for kids to play on from swings (including infant swings) to slides and climbing.
It's a nice walking park with a sturdy and fun playground. Nothing too special. Pokemon Go: there are two pokestops on opposite sides of the park and a Pokemon Go Gym too next to the dumpster parking wise.
