Confirmed from High Hawk Martin Meadows Entrance 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.
Shady park with a pond for ducks and a playground with swings and slides and picnic tables.
What runners say about High Hawk Martin Meadows Entrance Park
“Very nice park we love that it's shaded and love that they used a solid cushion/foam mat for the ground covering.”
Very nice park we love that it's shaded and love that they used a solid cushion/foam mat for the ground covering..... instead of rocks or wood chips ..its so much cleaner and no ants.
It's a great place to walk, it has a decent size trail. It's also a safe place cause it's plenty of traffic passing on LakeRidge which provides a sense of security for women and elderly people. It has a small place for the kids to play as well with a nice pond and waterfall.
Great playground, it's the only nearby playground I know of with a shade sail over the swings. The padded flooring is great for little ones still crawling or learning to walk. There's a walking path around a small pond, and a covered area with several picnic tables.
Excellent resource. I use the running path frequently. If you are interested in knowing, the full circle path around the park is exactly 0.4 miles. There's a nice incline and decline section to it. It really helps develop the legs.

“The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because you have to have a code to get into the bathrooms and I have yet to find someone who knows the code.”
“Nice little place to walk around it does have a walking area around the little pond with the water fountain.”
