We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Waterworks park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Waterworks park
“Beautiful huge shade trees and lots of wildflowers.”
“It has a really nice River, it's very peaceful and quiet and you can feed the Ducks also.”
Peaceful park in Coldwater MI, with the river flowing through. Beautiful huge shade trees and lots of wildflowers. Great place for a walk or picnic. The fairgrounds are on the otherside of the river.
Not much of playground equipment but nonetheless my kiddos loved getting to play for a little bit, run, and climb before getting back on the road. I'd say there's potential of a lot. The layout and landscape is beautiful. Where I'm from they're putting up new playground equipment left and right.
Nice little park along a creek. Paved walking trail. Lots of ducks, geese, and squirrels to see. Very shaded, too!
