Confirmed from Mingo 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.
Sprawling park with a skate park and river access, plus play areas and courts.
What runners say about Mingo Park
“The path to walk on is maintained, the park is clean, there's parking, and I feel safe when coming here.”
“A beautiful park, with various sport fields, outdoor pool, indoor basketball, walking paths, playgrounds and scenic river views.”
One of our favorite parks! Tons of play area skate park paved, trails, pool, indoor area with party place, coved pavilion with water/fireplace and bathrooms roght around the corner. Water fountains do not work. We are so happy that they finally built a new playground since the other one was falling apart!
Although the actual rec center is still in 1965 the rest of the park is really nice. Lots of soccer fields, baseball fields, walking track with workout stations, amazing skate park that has some really nice older guys that make the younger kids feel like stars and lit tennis courts along with a play area for the kids.
An amazing park with tons of activities for kids of all ages. Public pool open every afternoon in the summer. Gigantic playground with multiple areas for children to spread out and have fun. Also features a large walking trail, sports areas and ample parking.
Nice park. 1 mile paved loop for walking or biking. Very well kept and pretty. Loud from the traffic and not as buggy as other parks I have visited. Plenty of parking. Pool, ball field, facilities.
