Confirmed from Miller 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.
Zoo, playground, lake and splash pad complex, plus a golf course.
What runners say about Miller Park
“The park is clean, a great balance environment for adult and kids.”
“I love Miller Park - what a beautiful place to walk around during any season!”
“Quiet and peaceful most of the time.”
Hmmm... reviews for the zoo seem to be commingled with reviews for the larger park. I wrote a separate review under "Miller Park Zoo". This review is for the broader park. Great place to walk or relax.
It was my 1st time visiting Miller Park and I was actually surprisingly pleased. The park is clean, a great balance environment for adult and kids. The play ground, water splash park and walking path could be a great outing for the family.
I love Miller Park - what a beautiful place to walk around during any season! The park is always so clean and well kept. The water park is so nice for kids. Lots of pretty trees in the fall!
A very beautiful park, featuring a dining pavilion and fishing lake. Great place to bring the kids for fun and exercise. Don't forget to look out from the top of friendship walking bridge.
