We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Old Mill Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Old Mill Park
“Kept clean and the playground equipment is well maintained.”
My favorite! Family, kid, & dog friendly. Port-o-potty, picnic tables, drinking fountain, benches, path to walk, & great spot to take photos too!
Great park with good blend of nature and equipment. There's good seating for parents or grandparents to keep an eye on kids, a fairly large playset, covered pavilion with benches, running/walking trail, and little exercise stations along a path. Easy to bike to, and a large green space for impromptu sports.
