Confirmed from Mill Valley Park - Central'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, with courts for basketball, baseball, softball, and soccer, plus a playground.
What runners say about Mill Valley Park - Central
“The part of Mill Valley Park that I went to had a well maintained walking/running path that went alongside Mill Creek.”
Great walking path just a few benches for resting Eagles Nest was exciting.
This is a very nice City Park in Marysville. Off the bike / running trail and a quick trip from 31, access could not be better. There is the fields to use, but the playground equipment is what we used this day. My son loved it as well as the other kids there. There are multiple apparatuses to play on and interact with.
Really open park with plenty of room for all sports. Baseball diamond and soccer nets are provided as well as a playground and shaded picnic area. Free parking and access to a bike/ pedestrian trail that is right next to a creek. Very scenic and a great place to exercise. The city keeps this park very clean.
The part of Mill Valley Park that I went to had a well maintained walking/running path that went alongside Mill Creek.There wasn't a parking area so I parked on the street near the trailhead. Also there wasn't any playground equipment or restrooms. Maybe there are more amenities near the main entrance to the park.
