Confirmed from Legion 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.
Shaded, downtown park featuring concerts, an ice skating rink and bike tools, plus a train station with restrooms.
What runners say about Legion Memorial Park
“This park is very well maintained, and I didn't see any vagrants in the area.”
“The centennial park trail goes through a lot of beautiful areas.”
“Not a lot of shade, but there are a few trees to sit beneath.”
Great place to take the family and have a picnic. The park is neat and clean. Very close to the Kingston Ferry ⛴️ Terminal. Amazing place to observe and walk around. Restrooms are very close in range.
Love this park. Love how they have it decorated with the lights! Great place to come for a walk, you can eat at one of the picnic tables and enjoy some quiet time!
The centennial park trail goes through a lot of beautiful areas. Take a walk down it sometime and maybe you can see something visually appealing to you too.
We went on the Centennial trail. We stopped here at this pretty building. The bathrooms were clean. It was a little deceiving when I went to the bathroom The lock was on the hasp. It looked locked but with further inspection the door was unlocked.
