Confirmed from Miller Ecological 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.
Picnic-friendly and dog-friendly park (playground for kids) with a pond and bird blind.
What runners say about Miller Ecological Park
“But even after a few years after its setup, and Boy Scout eagle projects added it is still limited to truly being a well maintained walkway with few features for anyone to enjoy.”
“Went to monarch butterfly release and the Lebanon gardening club did a beautiful job with the gardens.”
“I do like this park, once your inside its quiet even with all the houses that surround all the edges.”
A beautiful little park for a short walk and a few small pieces of equipment for kids to play on. Gravel trail that splits into a longer or shorter loop for walking.
Nice, up and coming park with some easy, flat trails and plenty of birds and flowers to see. There's a bird blind and a prairie section, so expect to see various birds, squirrels, and rabbits about. Also check out the nearby farm along the main trail, as they have a horse and pony grazing outside, as well as a swan.
Awesome park! Has lots of walking trails and great hills for sledding!
It is a cared for park! But even after a few years after its setup, and Boy Scout eagle projects added it is still limited to truly being a well maintained walkway with few features for anyone to enjoy. Winter time!!! It has the right sloped hill for some basic 20 second sledding. Just make sure it’s the caked snow!
