Confirmed from Main 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.
Water park featuring a playground, picnic tables and tennis courts.
What runners say about Main Park
“A good Park but due to covid the water could not be turned on like it was a couple years ago overall though a good Park nice and clean.”
I like Main park in ElDorado. My wife and I like to walk our dogs through the park and on the bike path going toward the lake. The park is pretty clean (dog owners, please pick up after your dog. That's why God invented Walmart bags.
I usually find myself riding my bicycle through here when I'm out and it has changed a lot over the years! Having a bike path through the park is awesome and the new tennis courts were a great addition! Now I just need a tennis partner!
I love this place. Very neat and clean, good equipment, and personally.....Very nice and quiet place for one looking for some peace on an evening walk. Love it!
Such a beautiful and fun park. Water pad is awesome. Love the gazebos. Lots of beautiful trails. El Dorado is a wonderful place to live and visit.
