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.
County park with gardens, golf course, fishing lake, riding stables, BMX race course, trails & more.

This has to be one of the nicest parks I've ever been to. So many things to do! We just used the trails for a 3 mile walk, but there was so much going on. Families were at the picnic shelters, the pool looked fun and kids were using the playground. It was nice to see the horses, too.
VERY nice park/campground with a lot of walking trails. Campground is only 3 seasons. Park has golf, pools, cottages, water, shelters, hiking, horse riding and so on.
Took a group of seniors looking for a night out surrounded by Christmas cheer! Totally satisfied! Do know--only portapotties here. Can be difficult when working with bus parking at night on a gravel parking lot. Gift shop held various artisan holiday cheer. Hot chocolate topped the evening. Lovely!
