Confirmed from Pierson 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.
Large family destination featuring a playground with swings and slides, plus a basketball court.
What runners say about Pierson Park
“Clean, safe and the equipment is in great condition.”
“This is a beautiful park on the East Side of CRomwell.”
“nice park, big play ground for all ages”
PARK YOURSELF HERE! This is a beautiful park on the East Side of CRomwell. Located directly adjacent to the Police and Fire Departments. Nice walking path circles around the Park. Great hill for sledding in the winter. Handicapped accessible bathrooms.
Always a good place for your children to play. Yesterday was a block party. Great music,many venders, some had great prices,some over priced. And right by the park is the walk by faith, dog store!
Great park to take the kids. Well kept, clean and lots of space to run around
What a great find!! We were already in town for the library and saw this on Google Maps. Very clean and up-to-date. My kiddos are 4 and 2. My youngest struggles a tiny bit to keep up with her older brother. But to be expected when you want to run with the big dogs.
