Confirmed from Eljer 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.
This 19-acre park features playgrounds, shelters, a skate park, lighted basketball courts & more.
What runners say about Eljer Park
“There is playground, basketball court, tennis courts and walking trail everything is well maintained.”
“This is a nice park for families of all ages.”
This place is really good for kids and teens. There is playground, basketball court, tennis courts and walking trail everything is well maintained. One issue that I have with this park is not sure who approved the design for the slide when younger kids tend to climb the slide its really not safe wish there was step…
What a great little park! We came over to walk a trail mentioned in the AllTrails street. Looks like they have something for everyone. They have a lot of parking, trails that connect to neighborhoods, assessable trails and plenty of seating and bathrooms. Recommend giving this a stop!
I was visiting family from out of state, and chose this park for my morning walks. Very nice, peaceful area, and the walking/running path is excellent. Also lots of space for picnicking, sports, and nice playground area. Will definitely come back if I'm ever back in town!
It’s one of my favorite parks in Marysville. Big playground for kiddos. Pickleball courts, tennis courts, gazebo for parties, basketball courts, baseball fields, sand volleyball and trails. Not far from the Memorial Hospital or Uptown Marysville 😊
Trail conditions & character
“The bathroom closest to the diamonds are really gross but the brick & mortar building near the parking lot has good ones.”
