Confirmed from North Middleton 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 ball fields and walking trails as well as a basketball court and a creek.
What runners say about North Middleton Park
“Well-maintained, large grass lawns.”
“This is a beautiful creekside park with two moderately sized but nice playset areas, each with swings.”
Great park. Boat dock is wide enough. 4 big pavilions and 2 playgrounds. Well maintained. Short trail along with the creek.
Been going to this park for many many years. Have had graduation parties, family reunions, boated, fished and attended baseball games. It's a great park for all ages and families. Two separate parking lots, two playgrounds and a walking trail along the river is perfect for walking the dog.
Well-maintained, large grass lawns. Basketball and volley ball courts, playground equipment. Working bathrooms. Paved and dirt paths, with one along a beautiful tree-lined river. Many pavillians with picnic benches and uncovered and open picnic benches. Ample parking.
This park is a nice area that either walk around a little bit by the water. Or you can go fishing near the edge. It has multiple playgrounds. And in the middle is a big crassy area. There is a basketball court. It's parking at some TLC but it's not bad at all.
