Confirmed from Jerry Ivey 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.
Community venue featuring a playground & kids' spray park, plus tennis & basketball courts.
What runners say about Jerry Ivey Memorial Park
“Right down the street from my aunts house and its always clean.”
“Fun for all ages, with multiple areas of playground equipment.”
A large 23-acre park honoring a fallen Police Officer, located on the southeast edge of town. This park features a lot, Spray Park for the kids, playgrounds, restrooms, picnic shelters, tennis courts, basketball courts, gazebo, and trails.
Really nice park, amazing trails to walk through, and a great memorial to our fallen!
Nice little basic Park, not too crowded. Several trees along the roadway can provide shade on the side of the road, which is always nice in the summer heat. All in all in a nice little basic Park seems to be pretty safe and decently maintained, which is more than I can say for the parking lot at the Walmart…
Its nice. A little play time, water time, fun time for the kids. If you want to let the kids wear themselves down or if you want to walk, play sand volleyball/basketball, or feed the ducks come on down. Best park in the Salina.
