Confirmed from Madera 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 climbing walls, slides and swings, plus sports courts and baseball fields.

4/20/25 I usually using this local park for my evening walk a few times weekly. It’s a bit more crowded on weekend and at the summer time. Several playgrounds and sport yards are available, also you can use free bathroom and parking lot.
This is a very nice park. There is a lot of space for many various activities. A good quality basketball court, a few baseball fields, some decent playgrounds, some dirt trails, and lots of open space are a few of the noticeable features. There is also an ok public restroom.
