Confirmed from James Mack 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.
Park with a creek, volleyball court, picnic tables and pavilions, and playgrounds, plus a nature walk.

The James Mack Memorial Park is a beautiful park with mature trees providing shade throughout the park, and a creek running through it. The park has two large pavilions with picnic tables and evevated stands for personnal grills and fire pits.
Our favorite park. Covered and uncovered eating areas. Places to cook, hang hammocks, small hills and trails to explore, beautiful trees, and a river you can get in. Perfect place for photos.
Very beautiful park to enjoy a walk, the park is nicely trimmed and kept with benches all around for pleaseant seating. There are two pavillions that are always clean and trashes are always empty. The bathrooms are nice and clean, and placed near the middle of the park.
We've had family pictures taken here a few times over the years. Lovely park with many different photo op settings (bridge, nice long fences, plenty of shade, beautiful creek lined with large rocks and winding paths). Popular place for school dance pictures.
