Confirmed from The Green'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.
Small park with playground equipment and picnic tables, plus walking paths and open spaces.
What runners say about The Green
“What a great place and an Amazing,Beautiful day to raise money for a great cause Alzheimer's Awareness Wine Festival.”
Absolutely lovely. What a nice, beautiful park. It has a small playground, large pavilion, several picnic tables, benches at scenic points along a paved path that is dotted with unique works of art. It is a peaceful place to unwind and take in some sunshine and fresh air.
Great outdoor park, but not for small children. Two small ponds without any barrier around pose dangers. Fine for older children and fun non traditional equipment. Great place for adults to walk or have lunch.
It's a lovely place to walk, but not a lot for young kids to do. We took our 3 and 6 year old granddaughters and stayed for half an hour, then took them to Kidsview. It's much more fun for this age group.
A beautiful park with a great walking trail surrounding the park, it also has unique statues and xylophones!
