Confirmed from Tanglewood 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.
19 acres featuring beach volleyball & tennis courts, picnic pavilions with BBQ grills & splash pool.
What runners say about Tanglewood Park
“It's a clean place for kids to run around and burn off some energy.”
“Plus the kids could use some shade too”
Loved it:) with tennis courts on one side and a meandering walking/bike trail on the other there is plenty of room to roam around and make a day out of it if you can. Lots of tables and fountains, bathrooms, 2 playgrounds, small BBQ and even a couple of large double door cookers by the covered patio area.
Well maintained, clean, wide area park. Has nice trees and a long trail.
Nice overall relaxing park not too crowded and they have a lot of swings very quiet and nice place to walk the nature trail take a breather or bring kids to play or maybe maybe even play on the playground equipment like I did with my kids at the time of my visit it had just gotten dark like 5pm but the whole park is…
This park seems very family friendly and clean. It’s blended into the community. There’s two sides to the park. One side is fenced off from the other side, a few walks away. Lots of grass in the area to move around, tennis court, volley ball net, splash pad, and several benches, bbq pits and pavilions.
Trail conditions & character
“The convenience of having a bathroom across the road makes changing out of wet clothes easy and the playgrounds are perfect for tiring out busy bodies.”
