Confirmed from Osborn MetroPark'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.
A 172-acre park on former prison grounds with playgrounds, soccer fields, disc golf & tennis courts.
What runners say about Osborn MetroPark
“Fairways are well kept but rough is absolutely brutal.”
“I also took my maternity photos here years ago, it's beautiful.”
Really nice park to get some hiking in. We were able to get 4 miles today. We got to see 3 deer, 5 turkey vultures, and a male and female bald eagle guarding their nest
What a gem this park is. My grandkids had a great time exploring the trails and plating on the playgrounds.
This is a great place to visit. Lots of walking to do and at least two play sets that I know of. I also took my maternity photos here years ago, it's beautiful.
Amazing area for your dog of any size to run free. There is a small dog side and they have water hoses and bowls. My Remy loved his time
