Confirmed from Mulberry 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 picnic tables and a playground for kids, as well as opportunities for running.
What runners say about Mulberry Park
“Very quiet and nice locals, well kept with a multitude of beautiful trees.”
“Very quiet and nice locals, well kept with a multitude of beautiful trees.”
Half of the park is a field that is used for outdoor clubs (flag football, baseball, etc.). Next to the files they added a basketball court. The other half of the park consists of a large, covered seating area. Good for having a party (not sure if its first come first serve or if it needs to be reserved).
Great park with easy access. The swings were sturdy and quite comfortable even for an adult. The play area had been recently cleaned and I felt very safe and secure with my 2 year old running around. The workout area was also very well kept. A few spots of bird poop, but that's to be expected.
Great park with lots of activities. Large circular pathway for running or walking dog with beautiful trees.
Quality fitness machines. Softball diamond. Walking track. Small playground.
