Confirmed from Vadnais Heights Community 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.
Family-friendly park featuring ball fields plus a playground, a picnic area and volleyball courts.
What runners say about Vadnais Heights Community Park
“I bring my dog here to walk the track and always clean and well kept.”
“Tends to be pretty quiet most of the time.”
Its a nice place to go with kids. While the playground doesn't have a lot of equipment, there is a good amount to keep young children busy climbing and lots of space for them to run and use up some energy.
I bring my dog here to walk the track and always clean and well kept. Nice place to bring the kids or walk your dog.
