Confirmed from Millers Pond 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.
Park with a fishing pond, picnic areas, and a playground, plus tennis courts.
What runners say about Millers Pond Park
“Just drove through and looked nice and clean, the only thing is it had porta potties so unsure what the status was for the restrooms were and why they needed the portable ones.”
“The pond was loaded with many beautiful water lilies that were trudged out along with the beautiful reads and trees that are now no longer there.”
“Really peaceful and relaxing.”
**Great place to walk, picnic, fish, and let the kids play!** There's a playground, small public pavillion with picnic tables, and BBQ grill in the park. You can park on the street right next to the pavillion (and all around the pond). It's a pretty place to take a walk, and dog-friendly too.
Nice little park with a pond and geese, a little play area for kids and you can walk around the whole pond. Nice quiet place. Gets a little busy in the summer. Most leaving their garbage everywhere but the garbage cans at each end.
Beautiful location in the FNF. Used to bring my kids here all the time. About half the pond is over grown around the outside and unable to be fished. A path would be nice. Nice bass and a few trout in the pond.
Go for walks there at night. Really peaceful and relaxing. Kid friendly and love the pond. However stalls and a parking lot would be nice like bathrooms.
