Confirmed from John D. Morgan 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.
Grassy fields & shade trees highlight this 32-acre destination for athletics, play & picnicking.
What runners say about John D. Morgan Park
“There is also a clean public bathroom and to round it all off there is a pathway that you can walk on with your pooch on a leash.”
“The main park area looks small, but if you swing to the back area there is a wide expanse of green, with a paved trail and shaded areas under the trees aplenty.”
“There are plenty of things for all ages to do here.”
I went there for a birthday party over the weekend. I liked the place, it was neat and clean with multiple party areas along with the kids play area. Nice lush green park with ample space for walking. #park #playarea #parkforwalk #lushgreen
Huge park for the joy of all people of all ages. Stunning green ground, flowing gentle ups and downs, flat cleanwalking trail, benches and ovens for barbecue parties, excellent stretch for play and exercising dogs, family outings. There's a baseball ground and couple of kids play area.
This park is huge! There are two different playgrounds onsite (opposite ends of the park). Both structures have slides, climbing areas, and some kind of seesaw. One playground has a water play area with rings that spray water and a few ground sprayers.
This park is a nicely updated big park with newer play structures. There are plenty of things for all ages to do here. Aside from the play structure, there is a big grass area, a walking trail, a newer BBQ area, and a dedicated small parking lot. Definitely worth checking out.
