Confirmed from Leeds 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.
Family-friendly recreational space featuring a memorial, a creek and ball fields.
What runners say about Leeds Memorial Park
“It looks well kept and the groundskeepers were out while there and I just avoided the upper area of the trail all together to stay out of the way.”
“The natural part of the park surrounding the creek is gorgeous, and the whole park has a lovely view of sunset.”
“It is very shady in some areas and that made for an easier, cooler walk in the heat.”
“This is a very quiet area as well, very peaceful, as you're away from the playground area.”
“Who would think a small town would have such a nice park for kids if all ages.”
Great place to go for a walk have a picnic or let the kids play. A very nice clean park with a little something for everyone. They even have a cute little book nook, to find a book or leave one. I guess one of my favorite things is the love locks on the bridge.
Beautiful green space with lots of natural attractions. One of my favorite parts was all of the exposed rock. The trail is paved, but I found no wheelchair accessible ramp. You walk across the grass to access the track. There is plenty of parking spaces available and in several locations.
Pet Friendly! Very nice park. Visited there to have lunch after visiting Buc-ees and the Barber Motorsports Museum nearby. Has a great paved walking trail around the park for the babies to stroll. A little creek runs down the middle with a bridge to cross over.
Beautiful park. Shady and inviting, a dog walking environment. Most people are reasonable enough to leash their animals, but occasionally there is a person who doesn't. Bring your own doggy bags, they may or may not have any available.
