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.
Sprawling park featuring multiple playgrounds for kids of all ages, along with green space.
What runners say about Meadowbrook Park
“Miles of bike paths, two huge playgrounds, several shelters and clean facilities throughout the park.”
“There is a 13 and over outdoor fitness equipment area on the south side that gets Great shade in the afternoon, not so much in the morning.”
“If your child has no fear and tons of energy there is something for all ages.”
A Diverse Oasis! Kiting, pickleball courts, several playgrounds including a musical one and lots of art Anne walking/biking trails. There is a 13 and over outdoor fitness equipment area on the south side that gets Great shade in the afternoon, not so much in the morning.
A great park to take the kids to! Not much shade, so make sure you plan your visit accordingly. The area of the park we were at was perfect for bigger kids, probably about 4-10 years old. There’s another part of the park over the hill that is better for the littles.
Love this park! So much for the whole family to do. Very well maintained and clean. I love that there are two playset areas, one for smaller children and one for older children. The walking paths are great too. Definitely recommend! The zip line is missing
This is a big park and is beautifully landscaped with modern amenities, including creative playgrounds and walking trails. The park itself doesn’t have pools, however the connected Meadowbrook Apartments offers pool access to everyone.
