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.

“I brought my dog and we walked the trails which winded through the woods and over a creek.”

This was a wonderful park! I brought my dog and we walked the trails which winded through the woods and over a creek. I liked how unique this park was compared to other parks I had been to.

★★★★★ — Santos , Mar 2020

My wife and I happened upon this park and were pleasantly surprised. Lots of trees, intricate walking trails, and a few hidden gems that are great for pictures. Also there are several other amenities, such as an amphitheatre, baseball field, and a playground. Great spot!

★★★★★ — Aaron , Apr 2023

Great little park with about 1.5 miles of paved trail, lots of shade and open green spaces, a playground, plenty of benches and picnic tables, an amphitheater, and sheltered pavilions with charcoal grills. Dogs will appreciate the abundance of squirrels.

★★★★★ — Steve , Jul 2023

So happy we finally made it out to Miller Park! This place has such nice walking trails and multiple playgrounds for children. There are shelters you can rent for gatherings fields for baseball and extra bonus was a exercise area to work out. Was so glad we decided to come out here.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
