Confirmed from E. Farrell Palmer 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.
What runners say about E. Farrell Palmer Memorial Park
“The park has a winding sidewalk walking trail, nice pavilion, tennis courts, pool, baseball fields, public restrooms, and it is well maintained.”
“I love it there it is so clean and beautiful I can take my dog for long walks”
“This park has a nice shaded parking area along the road and a connector trail/bridge to the greenway in the Yellow Park across the creek.”
The park has many benches to sit at with a large area for the dogs to run. There are obstacles for the dogs to play and a nice drinking fountain for the pups too. Two separate areas for small and large pups.
Great place to Run or Walk. The scenery is beautiful 😍. Great place for kids to practice and play sports.
We stopped at the park while traveling across Georgia. We look for nice, safe places to stretch our legs when traveling. The park met all requirements and needs. The pavilion with restrooms was clean and well maintained. There is a paved walking trail with a bridge over the creek.
We love going for walks and bike rides out to the park. Grass and trail is always well kept and maintained. We always find interesting birds and bugs on the trail.
