Confirmed from John F Kennedy 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.
Relaxed, clean park featuring playground equipment, plus a baseball diamond.
What runners say about John F Kennedy Memorial Park
“Place was pretty clean and had enough tables but not as taken care of Spindler Park up the road.”
“And lots of beautiful trees to take pictures near.”
Enjoyed this quaint neighborhood park. One of the cleanest park bathrooms I have seen. The only negative is walking distance from parking to sheds when carrying heavy picnic goods.
I was disappointed about there not being a gated dog run area. But my dog and I thought it was a splendid idea to go there and we were right. It’s a perfect spot to break out a smoker and chill by a bench. The groundskeepers do a very thorough job cleaning it up and mowing the grass on Monday morning.
