Confirmed from Maxey 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.
Expansive playground features cushy flooring & shaded areas, plus a nearby lake & sports facilities.
What runners say about Maxey Park
“Large, well maintained child play area and bird viewing platform, as well as picnic tables.”
“Beautiful pond, sad enough no walkway or bicycle path around the pond.”
“Quite a peaceful place to relax with your family.”
This was my first time at this park. I use public transit and the bus stops at a park entrance. Restroom availability is a big plus for me. Having a large open area allowed me to enjoy my drone. I explored more with my drone camera as conditions were perfect for flying.
A Nice, Quiet place to enjoy a mesmerizing view of the sky, great place to enjoy for children, also for walking, having a picnic with family and friends, the lake provides a scenic view. Nice place to pass some leisure time.
Quick visit to pass time whilst waiting for lab results and as a follow-on to the exercise advice. Would be nice to have dedicated path all the way around the lake. It is a dusty day and the beach areas are strewn with rubbish and a few dead seabirds. It is winter and the grass is brown.
Nice playground in this park with exercise equipment, playground for small and bigger children. Beautiful pond, sad enough no walkway or bicycle path around the pond.
