Confirmed from Jaycee 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.
Public park with picnic tables and a playground, plus a separate, fenced-in area for off-leash dogs.
What runners say about Jaycee Memorial Park
“Jaycee Memorial Park's playground equipment seem very good quality, and well maintained.”
Jaycee is a really nice park, that doesn't seem as well known as some of the featured parks in Deerfield. As such, it's not often as crowded as Jewett Park or Maplewood Park can be. Jaycee Memorial Park's playground equipment seem very good quality, and well maintained.
The park is beautiful the photo is old the play area is new there is a dog park a walking path shelter and restrooms . In the winter there is a small hill you can go sledding
