Confirmed from Maplewood Heights 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.
Clean nature space offering a playground and a walking/biking path around a pond.
What runners say about Maplewood Heights Park
“This park is beautiful with all the Maple trees, a pond in the middle of the park and a side walk that is nearly 2 miles around the pond.”
Small walkable park with a paved trail around a lake. There's a medium sized sand filled playground for children. The basketball and 2 tennis courts are a bit dated, but functional. Plenty of seating and picnicking spots with a few charcoal grills
This is a nice park for walking my older dog, she can't go too far. The park has a small pond and the path loops. There's also benches around too. Geese hangout here. There's a playground. Parking is on the south side of the park.
Kiddos love the spider web (that's what they refer this park to.) They also have a walking/biking path around a little lake there. Only thing we don't really like is it's sand. Other than that, motor skills are always at work!
Nice place to walk. Beautiful one and a nice leg powered swing. There is also a park, full outside basketball court and a tennis court. The park is big and super cool. Nice bit of wildlife, usually geese and ducks.
