Confirmed from Mega-10 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.
Park featuring a playground with a zip line, slides, and swings, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Mega-10 Park
“It's pretty well maintained, even if the track swing thing has a habit of breaking.”
Fantastic place for kids to play and adults to just relax. Bike path going thru the park makes this a great stop to just chill.
Awesome park with really cool zip line swing! My kids love that you can climb onto a real caboose, and that it has playground equipment with features that uses an app. We really like how close it is to the bike trail and how close of a walk is to the skatepark!
Clean, big enough for plenty of people, equipment is not damaged. One of the better parks in Marshalltown for children. There's an outdoor gym for bodyweight workouts to the East about 75 feet away. Has access to the bike trail, also.
Easy access and parking with some picnic tables. Trees for shade. Many play structures for young kids. Walk/bicycle path. Good for dog on leash. Clean. Under some consteuction so bathroom not accessible.
Trail conditions & character
“Bathroom was unusable as someone had gone in and destroyed it.”
“The small parking lot is a pretty good indicator - if it's full, the park is very busy.”
“Under some consteuction so bathroom not accessible.”
