Confirmed from Meadowbrook 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.
Clean park featuring sledding hills and baseball fields, plus wooded trails and playgrounds.
What runners say about Meadowbrook Park
“Usually there's plastic bags at the trail heads if you forget some to clean up after your pet.”
I've been coming here since I was a kid and it's just as fun for my kids as it was for me. They've maintained and upgraded the playground. Last year, the green slide was boarded up, but it's back open this year. The trails are serviced regularly and I've enjoyed walking my dogs many times.
Excellent place to check out all through out the year. Walking trails, sled hill, playground make it fun for everyone. In the summer we play baseball in the fields and go for nightly walks. My favorite part is the rental spaces. We used park for a few events now and are never disappointed.
I love to go biking or rollerblading at Meadowbrook. Their paved path goes through the woods along a windy creek and is beautiful. It's not too long so it doesn't take much time to do the entire loop. They also have a nice playground and shelter with picnic tables.
Love the sledding hill in the winter. The village is finally doing more to the trails too that we as kids kind of made in the woods 30 years a go. I walk or bike them quite frequently in the summers. Kids love being in the woods
