Confirmed from Middleton-Mills 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.
Family-friendly park, spanning multiple lakes and ponds, for baseball and soccer, plus playgrounds.
What runners say about Middleton-Mills Park
“The playground is extra fun, the kids can play in the clean sand, explore the 2 lakes, or go along the nature trail behind the park.”
Nice clean park. Nice lake to fish in. That’s as far as I went, but there are play areas and also looked like some trails…
This is an amazing park, it literally has just about everything you can think of from basketball corts, football and so soccer fields (which is usually for teams and games) a couple of lakes for fishing, a few picnic shelters which can be reserved but doesn't have to be their always open when my family goes, there are…
Really nice, spacious park with fishing lagoons, soccer fields, and sheltered areas complete with electricity, running water, and barbecue grills. Unfortunately, the birthday celebration we attended that day was interrupted by swarms of pesky bees. Otherwise, a great location about 16 miles south of Cincinnati.
We always enjoyed watching our children play in their sports at this park. It was always kept so nice and it's a great place to go for a walk. And let kids play in the equipment, and I remember they had a nice hiking trail!
