Confirmed from Malvern City 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.
What runners say about Malvern City Park
“It was well maintained and lots of seating available for parents!”
“Tons of shade from some spectacular old trees.”
This is a fun and clean city park. The creek is fun to splash in. There are plenty of tables and benches sprinkled around the park. Tons of shade from some spectacular old trees.
The main bigger park in Malvern. Has tennis courts, baseball fields, playground, walking trail, restrooms, couple of gazebo's for party's and such.
Park, play and sweat. Has a small creek running through it, baseball fields, tennis courts, pavilions, picnic tables, concert stage, many swings, slides and play sets. Also setup for horse shoes. It does have restrooms, however, they have been known to be rather scary sometimes.
Definitely like the updates to the park that they've made since I've last been here. I don't come to the park often but it's definitely nice to see the better equipment for young kids to play on. And or walk your dog.
Trail conditions & character
“My only complaint is the bathrooms are sometimes clogged and we generally haven't had much luck being able to use them, so we make sure to take care of business before and after.”
“Tons of shade from some spectacular old trees.”
