Confirmed from Medinah 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, well-kept green space featuring a playground, baseball fields, tennis courts and basketball courts.
What runners say about Medinah Park
“Clean and well-maintained.”
I visited the old playground where the playground slides 🛝 are perfect for toddlers (straight), there is a walking path, to get to ballyball area.
Spotted a quiet open lawn that’s perfect for a family picnic and a new splash pad that kids can’t get enough of. The staff around the snack bar were super friendly and their lemonade was surprisingly good for the price.
great park, has 4 ball fields too bad they take on so much water. And the running path is great too about a 1/2 mile. sucks that there is a big puddle that you either have to run through or turn around. the city should re-do the elevation on the path.
Nice, quiet park with plenty of green space. Good for walking, relaxing, and spending time outdoors. Clean and well-maintained.
Trail conditions & character
“Really nice tennis courts, freshly renovated, 4 lighted courts, hitting wall”

- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
