Confirmed from Mills 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 featuring a playground, pool, picnic facilities, and basketball and tennis courts.

Wonderful, well thought out playground! Easy sight lines, access for all abilities, fully fenced with closing gates!!!, bathroom changing station for even bigger kiddos, and music area! Looks like some beautifully wooded trails as well!
I second what Becca Wilson said... This really is a great playground. There are so many fun areas to play for children, all easily visible while walking on the path that goes around the playground.
Love this park, the nature trail is beautiful paved and very nice, it's a easy-moderate walk with hills. Recently added mountain bike trails.. even a little creek if your kids want to get their feet wet. Large playground WHICH IS WHEEL CHAIR FRIENDLY!
