Confirmed from Chris Taylor 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.
Quaint community park featuring a pond, paved walking trails, children's playground & picnic area.
What runners say about Chris Taylor Memorial Park
“The park is very clean and has a variety of things children can play on and around.”
“Chris Taylor Memorial Park – Review ✅ Pros: - Peaceful Atmosphere: A quiet and respectful space dedicated to community and remembrance.”
I really like this park. Today I decided to get out of the house for a bit, and I found Chris Taylor Memorial Park on Maps. It was just over a mile away from my house, so I figured I'd stop by and check it out. To my surprise, it was so alive!!!
Nice local park to take family portraits. You can walk along the trails, feed the ducks, and entertain the kids with the playground.
I enjoy walking the track, day or night. But I also carry protection.. just in case. But it's a nice track. I can walk the track around the pond or make my way down to the civic center. It goes all around that area.
It's such a beautiful place. We just moved to Anderson a few month ago and since we found this place we are here almost everyday. We walk our dogs and have picnics here. It's great. ❤️
