Confirmed from Meadowdale 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.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“It has what you would expect at a nice public park: clean(ish) restrooms, a covered picnic area, a path for dog walking, a swing set, and 2 play structures.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“I had my surprise Birthday party here and it was Beautiful!”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“It is surrounded by very tall trees, so it is often shady and a little cooler in the summertime.”

Great park! Fun zip line swing! Nice little trail to walk, basketball courts and big grassy area! The playground is fun as well, has slides, tunnels, bars and swings! Great for all ages! Clean and well taken care of

★★★★★ — Danielle , Jan 2023

A great small park with a zip line and a playground with two different "age sections". Has a small grassy hill with cement path that is on the south end and a trail that goes through the woods a bit on on east side.

★★★★★ — Bree , Apr 2021

Cute park tucked into the woods. There are a few little trails into the woods near the playground as well, which is fun to explore for kids! There is also a kid sized zipline and some swing sets that are adjacent to the climbing/slide structures.

★★★★☆ — Sarah , Jun 2025

No beach access or water view that I could find, some photos in reviews showed. 🤷‍♀️ Nice park and walking trail. Accessible parking and walking paths, large restroom single stall, one for men and one for women.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
