Confirmed from Kemeny 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.
Recreation area featuring picnic tables, a playground, athletic facilities, and a gym.
What runners say about Kemeny Park
“Not crowed always clean ,no troubles there,me and my family luv walking around the track and using exercise equipment.”
I've witnessed some great changes to this park over the years, but sometimes I miss that old feeling. There's lots of trees here so perfect spot for dog walking. Excerise equipment can sometimes be sticky, so be prepared. Also , there's no public restrooms and at times a problem with vigrancy.
AWESOME! This center has come a long way! I came here as a child. I brought the neighborhood children here as a teen. And now as an adult I see the center being renovated and the new landscape that has been done on the playground, all making the center better than before.
This park is really nice & clean..very kid friendly. My son is 3 yrs old and is autistic so hes a runner, i take him to this park and can just let him run and not have to run after him because there is so much room and itd gated. The park is very nice too.
Love using the workout equipment at the park, and the trail for a jog or bike ride for my son! The park is usually clean and not too crowded, which is great for social distancing!
