Confirmed from Windmill 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.
Park for kids featuring fields for baseball and soccer, plus a playground.
What runners say about Windmill Park
“Very nice park, new parking lots, well maintained ball fields, a little bit of something for everyone really.”
Great place to have soccer and baseball. Can walk the big track too. Soccer practice here is the only time the uppity would ever visit this part of town.
Great park with a tennis court, basketball hoops and 2 baseball fields. Great spot to go jogging, exercise or just enjoy the outdoors.
