Confirmed from Richard E. Maslowski Glendale Community 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.
Squeaky-clean park for children featuring a ball field and playground, plus an outdoor beer garden.
What runners say about Richard E. Maslowski Glendale Community Park
“This is a super clean area with a 'no pets allowed' sign in the play area, which is also gated.”
“If you visit the park during the day, don't forget your sunscreen as there are no trees to provide shade.”
“This is an excellent park to take all ages of children.”
Great place to relax and have both a snack and drink. Great service and very clean park. Wheelchair friendly which is a plus; took my grandmother and walk way is wide enough for her wheelchair. Clean bathrooms plus a family bathroom to be able to change your baby in private, very much a plus for me.
Great park for kids that like to climb. Only complaint is that there is no shade. Plan to come early on hot days.
This is an excellent park to take all ages of children. Close to the Oak Leaf Trail, this space offers swings, slides, bridges, climbing bars, interactive panels, and many more creative options for kids to play, learn, and burn off some energy!
This park is super dope; a bike trail cuts through it, although I don't recall which one. The playground itself is a kiddo's dream; it has everything to keep you occupied for hours, all on a safe turf type of surface. This is a super clean area with a 'no pets allowed' sign in the play area, which is also gated.
