Confirmed from McCauley 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 McCauley Park
“Only thing to make this park elite, would be too add more shade over, the playground & pool area!”
I pass by this park frequently - first time here today & the park is by far, top 10 list of visiting! Clean. Restrooms & picnics areas directly to the side of the play area. The grounds are maintained very well. The park itself is awesome. Little kid area. Big kid area. Climbing area. Built in marry-go-round.
Great little park. Several nice playsets and a rope jungle gym. Plenty of parking and bathrooms. Frisbee golf on site and a concrete walk path.
Great park! Best in Christian county! Lots of shaded seating. Nice to have restrooms near by. Only thing it needs is a working water fountain.
