Confirmed from Jerry Russom 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.
What runners say about Jerry Russom Memorial Park
“Beautiful park with just a few hiking trails.”
There's a .75 mile walk along Miller Creek that is perfect for a shady stroll. Bonus is all the dogs you can meet 😀 One day I'll try the steep uphill trail to the water tank. No water to drink. No restrooms. Plenty of poison oak.
One of my favorites. Beautiful park with just a few hiking trails. Really only a draw for locals.
