Confirmed from Joyce 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.
300+ acres of green space with a playground, picnic shelter, sports facilities & restrooms.

“Nice play areas, soccer fields, baseball fields, dog friendly, bmx track, skate park, surf nation, and more”
Joyce park was beautiful. Plenty of fields and even a bike path. There was a dried up river with a boat stuck. We tried to walk down and just sit there but it was so slippery. My buddy slipped and took a mud slide. It was amazing 10/10 would watch him do it over and over again.
My go to place to walk the dog. Paved wide bike trail. Occasional deer sightings. Great views of the Great Miami River. One of the largest soccer destinations in the tri-state. Heavily used skate board park, needs expansion.
It has trails for walking and biking. Soccer, football, basket ball, birthday partys they have wake nation for swimming and wake boarding.they have a skate park as well. It's beautiful place lots to do.
This park is a vibe in the middle of Outremont. It’s very quiet with little hills and different area to relax and some fountains. A pretty green place with seats, tables, and few trees with shade.
