Confirmed from Butler 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.
Kid-friendly park featuring a playground, baseball fields and tennis courts, plus paved paths for biking and walking.
What runners say about Butler Memorial Park
“There are multiple well-maintained shelters to rent for parties and gatherings.”
“We had a very beautiful memorial and internment for our parents.”
“I love to ride my bike or jog through here and also enjoy the peaceful stream that flows through the whole park.”
Love this park. My older kids love walking around the park, and younger kids love being at the playground. Loved coming here when I was a kid when there was a swimming pool. Would be great if they added a water pad/ sprinkler to the area.
Great place to walk and the playground is great for the kids! We have had several picnics here at the shelters as well! And the kids love all the Pokemon Go action!
This park really has a lot going for it. There are multiple well-maintained shelters to rent for parties and gatherings. There are several playgrounds for kids, tennis courts, a bocce court, and more. It's a quiet route to circle for a walk or for family bike ride.
Great park for the whole family. I love to ride my bike or jog through here and also enjoy the peaceful stream that flows through the whole park. It also has a couple hiking paths and has continually updated its playground equipment.
