Confirmed from Mathis 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.
Park offering a playground, baseball fields, a softball field, and a walking trail.
What runners say about Mathis Park
“Three well-kept ball fields, two public restrooms on site.”
Always a good place to go walk there are a nice amount of poke stops here. And the park is always clean.
Mathis park adjoins Crystal Lake park. The park has two large pavilions with electricity. There are also flushing toilets on site. There is also a long walking trail encircling both parks. This is a nice place for a day long event or family reunion.
Great baseball/softball complex! Three well-kept ball fields, two public restrooms on site. THANK YOU HOPEWELL PARKS AND RECREATION!!! Been coming here since I was a kid. There are trails between Crystal lake and Mathis. They are not upkept by staff just the people who use them.
I went there to walk. There is a trail around the pond that's perfect. You get shade and a view. Loved it. Haven't explored further as of yet, but will soon.
