Confirmed from Hull 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.
A relaxing grassy park for picnics, walking and fishing, along with bike paths.
What runners say about Hull Park
“very well kept, and very pretty view all the way around!”
“Beautiful park with great water view, green space, conservation garden, solar-system--theme art.”
Nice park along the Boardman Lake. There are plenty tables and benches and small pavilion at one end. The Boardman Lake trail goes through the park. At the north end there's a boat launch and a platform for fishing. I saw two people fishing when I visited.
beautiful trail around the lake! very well kept, and very pretty view all the way around!😍
Cool little spot where you can watch sailboat classes, or walk along the Boardman trail! Some good food spots nearby and an all around easy place to relax and enjoy some views.
The park is seemingly small but with a fun twist. The park includes a trail nearby. This actually includes planets, in our solar system, that are away from the sun positioned near the start of the boardman river. As you progress your way along the trail you see more and more planets. It's bloody brilliant.
