Confirmed from Malesus 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, tennis courts and sand volleyball area featuring picnic tables and a ball field.
What runners say about Malesus Park
“Wonderful place to spend an afternoon playing with the children , all play area in shade.”
Nice park with an abundance of play equipment for kids 12 and under. Has a volleyball net and sand, small walking path and a Pavillion to do a picnic out of the sun. There is another side of the park that I didn't get to explore, I was on the South West side of the park off of Hwy 18.
Great for walking, jogging, running. Has one spot to do some exercising. Also has 2 playgrounds for different "age group" children. It also has ball fields and tennis courts.
Nice play area for kids, a walking trail, tennis courts, batting cages, concession stands during games and multiple ball fields. Nice little park.
Great walking track. Lots of variety and sunshine! The other facilities look great as well.
