Confirmed from Hartrick 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.
Well-kept park featuring a playground, soccer fields and baseball diamonds.
What runners say about Hartrick Park
“Also the drinking fountain is broken so bring extra water but it was a really clean park other than that”
“It was aimed at kids a little older than our daughter, but a nice, quiet place for lunch.”
Well kept park, public restrooms, kids playground, and two really nice ball fields. Plus there are nice walk trails nearby.
Fun little park. Has a nice wooded path with other paths to walk your dog. Has 2 baseball diamonds and a pavilion with Mple parking.
Nice ball fields! Did some walking on the trails as well. Quiet. Restrooms were clean
Hartrick Park is a great place for a day with the family. Decent size play ground for kids, a couple baseball fields, a large open area for soccer, ultimate frisbee, football, or a blanket picnic. The restrooms are modernized and maintained.
