Confirmed from Southview 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 offering baseball diamonds and soccer fields, plus basketball courts, a track and playgrounds.
What runners say about Southview Park
“It's a great park very well maintained and clean.”
This park is very nice. We had a pavilion and even though it was almost 80 degrees outside it was cool under the pavilion. There’s basketball courts and playgrounds for the kids. There’s also a track if you like walking. There’s also grills at the park for public use.
Extremely nice and well laid-out facility. Nice restrooms basketball courts soccer field and Amphitheater. Walking paths plenty of room to fly kites and about anything else you can imagine.
Great City Park in Bellefontaine Ohio. Baseball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball courts, and a large nice paved walking / running trail. There is a small(er) field house with restrooms and a drinking fountain and about eight full size picnic tables.
An excellent park, with large soccer fields, baseball diamonds set up like a clover leaf, and even a walking/biking/rollerblading trail through a little plot of woods. They also have a covered picnic area near public restrooms, other picnic areas, a pètanque area, and a plays for kids.
