Confirmed from Meadow Neighborhood Park and Community Preserve'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.
Community park featuring an outdoor ice rink for hockey & skating, plus biking trails & a playscape.
What runners say about Meadow Neighborhood Park and Community Preserve
“There is a building for the bathrooms with running water that was very nice and clean compared to a porta potty.”
The park is super cute and very toddler friendly!! It has a nice picnic area and bathrooms. Plus there's a trail to walk along that has very pretty views. This park was such a gem to find! It's a nice nature surrounded park in the middle of the suburbs
I have 4 kids ages 1, 2.5, 4.5, and 6. There seemed to be enough for all of them to do. My 6 year old did get bored with the park by the end. There is a limited swing set, a smaller area for littles, and a bigger kid area that has a nice enclosed upper level that works for the littles as well.
I walk my dog twice a day in the park. We clean up after ourselves and sometimes after others. Lots of wild life and well maintained trails.
Fun playground surrounded by nature, walking trails. Restrooms were open in December! Hockey rink, tennis courts.
