Confirmed from Millar 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.
Spacious neighborhood park featuring a playground and baseball field, plus a shaded walking trail.
What runners say about Millar Park
“A very nice neighborhood park defined by streets of neat well kept working class homes and the Hawthorne School apartments.”
“Circumvented by the Betty Thompson walkway lined with big shady oaks, elms, and maples.”
This is a great neighborhood park close to main arteries, such as Olive Blvd and Page Ave. There is a 1/2 mile paved, well shaded path. People are friendly. There is ample parking a large shelter and playground.
Real nice park. There was a lot of children playing while parent's and on goer's were jogging or walking around the track. I was there with a friend for the kickball practice's. Nice clean family feel park..
Great park. It's been there for a looooong time. I like that there's LESS weed smoking and drinking nowadays. I enjoy the walking trail as well.
Pretty park with a wide, paved walking trail around its perimeter. I appreciated that the walk was mostly shaded. The eastern half of the park is under construction, but it isn't interfering with the walking trail.
