Confirmed from Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden'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.
Tranquil 7.5-acre city garden with seasonal plants, statues, a landscaped stream & a wedding gazebo.

“It was well shaded, there were plenty of benches to sit in and read or visit.”
“Beautiful and peaceful sights, even locals passing through the trail was also very friendly”
“We saw several dogs on our walk and easily could have spend longer there.”
This is a nice park. It’s great for taking personal pictures, learning a little more about history, or just taking a relaxing walk in nature. And you don’t even need to drive out of town. Also, due to the size and the trees, you feel like you’re out in nature rather than in the middle of the city.
First time visitor to this garden. My wife wanted to walk the dog and I wanted to walk for some exercise. The paths are paved and there are lots of benches around to rest on if you get tired or you just want to sit and contemplate life. Either way, walking or resting, you are most of the time in the shade.
Beautiful gardens! I visit once or twice a year usually with my eldest daughter just to get a new photo of this magnificent red camellia. This year I was also drawn to the Japanese maple trees and the koi pond at the Mill. It was a lovely afternoon walk.
Beautiful well maintained park. Lots of places to sit and visit, with some off to the side with plantings around for privacy. Even in the dead of winter there are plants in bloom here! Park is paved and wheelchair accessible. My son loved to run around. There is an abundance of birds and we seen a rabbit as well.
