Confirmed from Bell Rock 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.
Public park featuring benches, a small grassy area, and memorials to fallen soldiers.
What runners say about Bell Rock Memorial Park
“Nice park, well maintained and a nice place to catch some 🌞.”
“A beautiful park that gives you the space to reconnect with yourself — and to honor the countless souls whose lives made this moment possible.”
It is a pretty place in the middle of the city, great for walks, hang out and for pictures... i have seen quite a few people going there for wedding pictures (i was part of a wedding that had pictures taken there as well) and pictures for other celebrations and/or picture books as many young well dressed teens also…
Fine small park, visually beautiful with trees and grass. Clean. Busy during the warm season. There are benches peppered around, and some walking paths that wind around the memorial sculpture. It's located near a bus stop, so it's accessible but not entirely quiet throughout the day.
Nice little park to just walk lazily around at, or sit and enjoy the weather (when it's nice out) Has a few beautiful historical monuments placed around the park, as well as a very large and beautiful monument placed right in the center.
Hilly, clean cut grass and Korean War Memorial. Kids play soccer, others use the park to walk or nap in the sun. There are benches to sit under tree shade.
