Confirmed from Mainlands 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.
City park with picnic tables, water fountains, and golf opportunities.
What runners say about Mainlands Park
“It was wonderful the park is the sacer for me to walk on it 3 days a week I do and I love it it's very very very hard but it's really really a very clean part to go to exercise”
“It has a beautiful marked one mile oval suitable for those runners, walkers bicycle riders who like to know how far they've gone.”
“Not a lot of playground equipment for kids but very peaceful and safe.”
Beautiful neighborhood park! One mile paved path with exercise stations encircling pretty water areas; bathrooms, picnic tables, and water fountains available. Not a lot of playground equipment for kids but very peaceful and safe.
Mainlands Park opened in 2014 in Tamarac to remedy the issue of lack of parks on the east side of the city. The 23-acre city park was named for Mainlands, a 55 and up community consisting of 529 homes that was established in 1968. The park is in the section 3 and 4 subdivision.
For me Mainlands Park has always been a five place to visit. It has a beautiful marked one mile oval suitable for those runners, walkers bicycle riders who like to know how far they've gone. It was a golf course before and a lot of vegetation and trees have been added. Benches and table throughout. Thanks Tamarac.
