Confirmed from Newburg 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.
Kid-friendly park with batting cages, ball fields and a skate park.
What runners say about Newburg Park
“Took the dogs & enjoyed the beautiful sunset & watched friends play ball🥎 The park is well maintained and very clean.”
“Great playground for the kids, bathrooms, snack shack & space to walk the dogs🌻”
Fun night watching the women's softball games. Took the dogs & enjoyed the beautiful sunset & watched friends play ball🥎 The park is well maintained and very clean. Great playground for the kids, bathrooms, snack shack & space to walk the dogs🌻
Great place for walks, sporting events like soccer, softball, baseball, plus a playground and a bike track. Ya got BBQs benches as well as some corn hole pits.
It's a lovely park with nice okay structures. There is also creek access and hiking trails in the Redwoods. My dog loves all the sniff- abilities.
Nice grounds, baseball field, skatepark, and playground. Could use more play equipment since it only has a couple different style things to climb on, and two very steep slides. But the equipment that's there is newer, nice, and well kept. There are no wood chips, which is very nice.
