Confirmed from Dunnegan 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.
Landscaped space with picnic tables, a playground, trails, and a pond with geese and swans.
What runners say about Dunnegan Memorial Park
“This park offers a very peaceful and beautiful atmosphere to enjoy your day.”
“I release a lot of stress here and it gives a calm I long for in time of chaos.”
There’s a trail That goes around The property. A frisbee golf course. Multiple playgrounds. Public restrooms. Lots of picnic tables. A pond and a creek. Around the park they have small grills. They have lots of benches too.
I have been coming here since I was a kid. It is amazing to be able to take my kids here as well! My favorite part is that the equipment is kept in good repair. I have rarely seen equipment that looked like it needed to be replaced. And the walking trails are great too!
This park offers a very peaceful and beautiful atmosphere to enjoy your day. We love to walk the trails and watch all of the ducks, swans, and geese at the pond. There are some beautiful peacocks wandering around, too! There are tons of little creekbeds to explore, and several pkayground areas scattered throughout.
Dunnegan Memorial Park is so beautiful and peaceful. There’s playgrounds throughout the park. The ducks are always ready for treats and sometimes they will eat right out of your hands. The walking trail is just perfect. Love this place!
