Confirmed from Jennings 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.
This large, grassy park with wooded areas offers ball fields, play equipment & nature trails.
What runners say about Jennings Memorial Park
“I came back recently and I was very impressed at how well maintained everything is!”
“There is a good size pond in the middle of the park for KIDS fishing only and it is stocked up with fish and beautiful turtles.”
This is the best park around and it has everything! This is pretty much a wonderland for kids and adults. There is a good size pond in the middle of the park for KIDS fishing only and it is stocked up with fish and beautiful turtles. There are many small trails to enjoy a walk with your kids or dogs.
Great space! There are 2 kids playgrounds, an event space, a fishing pond, a music/movie/big event space, and some hiking trails to enjoy. And the Master Gardener's garden which donates food to the food bank as well as growing many beautiful flowers. A great spot for family fun and photos!
Beautiful park!! Many places to sit - tables, benches, full sun, shade. We cooter l chose to sit under a beautiful huge tree. The sound of the rustling leaves and water were perfect. They had clean bathrooms too. I'll be going back soon. Definitely recommended.
Great place to go with family, a date, or just to let the kids explore. Also a fun place to take pictures. The garden is fun to walk through. Sometimes you see druggies here but if you stay out of their way, they will stay out of yours.
Trail conditions & character
“There is a good size pond in the middle of the park for KIDS fishing only and it is stocked up with fish and beautiful turtles.”
“The trail on the north side of the pond is a bit muddy and could use some wood chips.”
“Unfortunately there are some shady hooligans loitering around sometimes, but otherwise I felt safe.”
“This park has two play areas, each with its own structure, joined by a short path with a descent incline/slope, complete with a little bridge in the middle.”
“There are some neat extras like the big rooster, mural, old homestead, Master Gardener demonstration garden, and plenty of benches and parking.”
