Confirmed from Mackay 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.

Outdoor park with athletic facilities such as a rink, softball and baseball fields, and basketball and tennis courts.

What runners say about Mackay Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (566 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Let me start by saying we were here for only hockey and didn't walk the grounds, which appeared to have a lot to do in the warmer weather. However If visiting the ice rink bundle up because it's technically an outdoor rink with a roof and one of the coldest rinks we've been to. The changing rooms are small.

★★★★☆ — Jenn , Jan 2024

Very pleasant park to enjoy a walk with plenty of benches to rest at. There are deer in the area which keep to themselves so it's an extra nice touch to an otherwise nice area. Nice sized playground for the kids. Everything was maintained well and has the soft rubber floor to keep the children safe.

★★★★☆ — Emir , Oct 2024

Great park to chill, workout, and relax. I take special needs clients all the time to walk around, relax, and play basketball. Feels very safe

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

“Park is absolutely ok but dogs are not allowed, eventual punishment 250$ or higher, we spoke with a supervisor, Google has false information.”
