Confirmed from Maxfield 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.
Small public green space featuring a fountain and playground equipment for kids.
What runners say about Maxfield Park
“Always clean & has a lot of beautiful points to it.”
“Went here to take pictures of my kids I love how they fixed the place up I especially love the waterfall it's so beautiful I took some really beautiful pictures of my kids there”
This is a very nice little pocket park in Historic Downtown Batesville, Arkansas. It has lots of playground features for kids and several picnic tables and benches. Also, it has what looks like a stage area for live music. The restroom was clean. Plenty of parking.
Fantastic park off Main Street! Great place to let the kids run around because there aren't many entrances/exits.
