Description
The Middletown Valley (formerly known as the Kempenaar Valley) Park is a nice, small, well-maintained area. This little park is nestled between a shopping center and a neighborhood. It is popular for walkers and joggers. The path is smooth, flat and well-groomed. There are actually 3 pathways: Blue, Red and Yellow. There are trail signs posted at the park entrances. You'll know which trail you're on by the frequent signs that show similarly colored birds. The trail signs aren't really necessary since the new trees (planted 2018 & 2019) don't block the view across the park yet so you can easily see where you're at during your visit. Feel free to head in any direction and criss-cross the park paths to get extra mileage.
