Confirmed from Michael Crotty Bicentennial 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 boasting oceanfront beach & riverfront boardwalk with tree-covered roads, campsites & dog park.
What runners say about Michael Crotty Bicentennial Park
“It has a baseball field, tennis courts, basketball court, two dog parks (for large and small dogs) and well maintained nature trails.”
“Just found this amazing park with beautiful Pickle Ball courts, super welcoming and friendly players, excellent gorgeous location, right on the coast!”
“If you head back into the park there is an excellent playground for the small kids that is completely covered and in the shade.”
The dog park is mostly sand which didn’t bother me or my dogs. There is a separate large and small dog areas. They enjoyed it. Plenty of parking. Trails and a boardwalk to meander along. Nice playground for the kiddos. Beach is right across the street and is a very quiet stretch with no cars on the beach.
Plenty of free parking and walk way to access the beach. A blinking light to cross the street. A outside shower, feet wash, public bathrooms and picnic tables to eat at with outside grills.A small board walk that is built for handicap.
We come here almost every day and have a great time. Fully fenced, plenty of shade, dual gated entrances, Small and Large Dog park separated, and many fountains. Definitely a great place to bring your dog.
This is the biggest dog park I've ever seen. There's a nice Sandy trail up the middle separating the small dog park from the big dog. The big dog is enormous but there was hardly anybody in it. There was a group of about 10 adults all in the small dog park with all sizes of dogs running around. Highly recommended.
