Confirmed from Noblitt 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.
Open area featuring baseball fields, wooded walking paths and fishing spots.
What runners say about Noblitt Park
“Practice baseball diamonds, riverside people trails, scenic with railroad tressle high above with bridge for train.”
⚠️BEWARE ⚠️ OF THE OLD WOMAN WHO LIVES DIRECTLY OFF OF THE WATERFALL!!!!!! We come here often. My husband and I as well as our 2 kiddos love it because there is SO much open space for them to drive their R. C. cars, drones, play outdoor games ECT. As well as the trails, and waterfall.
Great multi-use paved trail for walking, running, or biking. Very safe for little kids. Connects along the river to Mill Race Park all the way up to Papa's Grill and the ice cream shop by the interstate without crossing any roads. Adults can easily bike from Noblitt park to the restaurant in 20-25 minutes.
Very clean park. No playground. But they do have a couple ball diamonds. People trail cuts through. Nice place to walk. They removed the train track bridge. I broke my back on it climbing to the very top and jumping off of it in June 2001. Only time I did that but I still love to fish the area.
Beautiful! Wonderful place to take my dog and my 9 year old son! There is fishing,a damn, beach, and trails! Plenty of room to throw baseball and football.. if you like soccer then it's a good place to practice!
