Confirmed from Founders 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 Founders Memorial Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (18 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice park but if you go on some of the trails it's a major dumping zone. I've found hundreds of beer bottles and junk piled there such as tires, CRT TVs, truck bed linings, etc
