Confirmed from Jamison 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.
City park with a playground, picnic shelter, paved greenway, and tennis balls for dogs at the fenced-in dog park.
What runners say about Jamison Park
“The green belt is awesome for walking, the park is well kept, and the picnic area is perfect for hanging out.”
“Great place for rollerblading, biking, or dog walk.”
Wonderful place to bring my grandkids. Very close to dog park and walking trail. Public bathrooms huge parking lots large open grass area.
Jamison Park is a great place to go running, walking or biking. There is one main trail about 3 to 4 miles long and then a couple of shorter side trails. It is nicely wooded and can get very busy at times. You will often see some of the same people there at different times that you go.
This park is nice. It has a playground, pavilion, dog park, and trail. The trail is kept clean and is totally paved. It is fairly smooth. People walk, run, bike, walk their dogs, and push their racing wheelchairs on it. It can get crowed sometimes. The dog park can also get crowed but it is big.
We have been coming here for years, this year the Greenway is unkept. Mowing is done but the weeds are taking over the sides. The trees are covered in vines. This is a picture of the creek where children use to play, now you can't tell it is there. Are there cutbacks or just under staffed?
