Confirmed from Lower Millcrest 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.
Playground with a shelter house, plus baseball and soccer fields & grills.
What runners say about Lower Millcrest Park
“But it is clean, it does have ample picnic areas, and it does have good playground equipment.”
A great county park for whatever your needs may be. I take my dog for walks quite frequently here. My favorite spot within the park would have to be the fire place in the shelter house.
Moved here a month or two ago we moved to town and I have enjoyed walking this 0.5 mile loop with my kids and wife. It is well kept and open park.
Very well shaded. Did not really have to worry about the kids running off.
Trail conditions & character
“This entrance to the parks parking lot has very big pot holes & the park/ pinic area can use at least 2 grills.”
“The shelter was fairly clean, the restrooms weren't bad.”
