Confirmed from McEuen 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.
Lakeside park with recreation trails, a large playground with a splash pad & an off-leash dog area.
What runners say about McEuen Park
“Clean and functional park, very impressive about playground, a lot of slide, swings, climbing activity facilities here, also tennis court, basketball court.”
“McEuen Park has one of the best playgrounds I’ve seen, tons of open green space, a splash pad, basketball courts, and beautiful views of the lake.”
I was blessed and fortunate to visit beautiful McEuen Park nestled in the absolutely Gorgeous town of Coeur D’ Alene, Idaho. I Love the Fresh Mountain Air, the Pine Trees and Evergreen Trees, the Beautiful Mountains, the Many Hiking Trails and the Wilderness Atmosphere.
Nice, big playground that my daughter never wanted to leave, big spacious open areas. Large area for your dogs to play, and a nice little hike around Tubbs Hill. There’s a nice armed services memorial, and the lake is beautiful.
A great park in the downtown area, right on the lake. It is beautiful and well maintained. So green and clean. The water feature is outstanding. The views are nice. The pine trees on Tubbs Hill make it perfect.
This is an awesome park! There is so much to do! The play ground is huge! However, old kids will probably get bored quickly. It's not a challenging play ground and looked like was handicap accessible but I'm not 100% sure. The splash pad wasn't running while we were there but it looks like it would be a lot of fun.
