Confirmed from Julius M. Kleiner 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.
This 58-acre park with an amphitheater offers a range of activities, such as fishing & basketball.
What runners say about Julius M. Kleiner Park
“Beautiful and well maintained park in the city!”
“Beautiful big park,playground,seating and plenty of walking,close to shopping also”
Big, Beautiful Park! Kleiner Park certainly has something for everyone -- from Jogging/Walking Paths to Children's Playgrounds to Disc Golf to Bocce Ball to Fishing to large Pavilions to open spaces and more! The location is great, right next to The Village at Meridian.
This is a beautiful clean park. I went there for a free concert. The band Orale was terrific, and the grass amphitheater was really nice with shady trees and the sun setting behind the crowd. The fishing is also good for bass in July. My parents live within walking distance, and I'll definitely visit again.
Beautiful and well maintained park in the city! Lots of parking and they host events like the Meridian fine arts festival. There are some views of the mountains. You can walk around on the paths and around the large pond.
This park is my favorite, and it has a walking trail, a playground, and shopping centers nearby if you want to walk around.
