Confirmed from Meadowlawn 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.
Charming venue with a swing set, a playground and plenty of open space.
What runners say about Meadowlawn Park
“Nice clean little neighborhood park, right next to a community drainage ditch.”
This place is simple but really nice. A playground for kids ages 5-12, a nice swing set, bike trail, and a large yard to run run around. There's also a creek that runs along the park that's nice to walk or sit besides.
Very pretty park, great for walking dogs here. It is very nice, with ample parking for the amount of people that come here. It is on the smaller size, but as with my previous statement, not a lot of people come here.
Needs more shade for walking. Another bench on the right side of the park.
