Confirmed from American Legion Memorial 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.

“Picked up dinner from Schmidt’s Sausage Truck and had a peaceful time at the park.”

it is very quiet, the hike is nice. you can disconnect for a moment from everything, we really enjoyed it. The large trees full of squirrels, you can sit and admire them anywhere in the park. I love this park and it is in the heart of Marysville

★★★★★ — Christina , May 2021

Great for walking. Has mild inclines and steps present for utilization to change up your pace as desired. A good playground area for littles to enjoy. There is am amphitheater and a couple public areas as well.

★★★★☆ — Windraven82 , Mar 2021

Great park and one of Marysville’s most historic. The playground is fun for the kids and the city is currently improving the nature trails and constantly adding events during the warmer months.

★★★★☆ — Michael , Mar 2018

Pretty little park. There is a short trail that ventures into a more wooded area. A few small fish in the stream under the bridge. A few Pokestop and a pokegym for the Pokémon GO players.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🌳 Shaded / tree cover 5 mentions

“Do wish they would finish out the natural trail that was started but never finished as it doesn't circle back our anything just dead ends in the wooded area.”
