Confirmed from Mead 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.
Grassy expanse abutting the Wisconsin River featuring a disc-golf course, playground & picnic areas.
What runners say about Mead Park
This park is amazing! I'm so happy to see all the improvements. This has everything you could want from a neighborhood park. A huge playground, basketball court, volleyball court, horseshoes, tennis court, beach, walking paths, restrooms, plenty of grills and picnic tables, a neighborhood garden, shelters and…
Handicapped parking and very clean park restrooms that are also handicapped usable. Very nice playground equipment, well cared for. Lovely views about the area. Nice walking path also. Visit the bridge in a short walk. Loved the colors of the trees. Many garbage cans in the park. Nice area to walk about
Trail conditions & character
“4 stars now because of the dumb enclosure they put around the beach to make it a "dog beach.”
“Agree with others that it is so big it's hard to watch the kids from one vantage point, and parking can be limited on busy days.”
“Handicapped parking and very clean park restrooms that are also handicapped usable.”
