Confirmed from Madison Avenue Central 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 splash pad, a picnic area and slides, along with a walking path.
What runners say about Madison Avenue Central Park
“Nice park that’s well kept with walking paths, clean bathrooms, and a fantastic playground.”
“Seems like even the teenagers respect this beautiful part and usually leave all the equipment to the younger kids.”
This park is awesome. The playground itself is all turf which is very nice. That being said this park can get HOT. To beat the heat theres a splash pad up above the park thats very refreshing.
Nice park that’s well kept with walking paths, clean bathrooms, and a fantastic playground. In fact, it’s one of the best playgrounds I’ve ever seen, since it’s inset, making it easy to look after smaller kiddos. I highly recommend this park!
Had a great time with the kids and wife. It's a small park but cool for the kids to play and run off some energy. Had a great time.
Such a fun place to take the kids! The fountains are almost always on, and the kids enjoy being able to run thru the water while also playing at the park. Sometimes, though, there is barely anything coming from the fountains. I think they either turn on the fountains or the waterfall, but not both.
