Confirmed from Lou Hartfiel 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.
Clean park with playgrounds, a basketball court and nature trails.
What runners say about Lou Hartfiel Memorial Park
“The bathroom is always clean and the memorials they have added in the park are very nice, too.”
“It has a 9/11 tribute which is amazing and the walking trail is very nice and scenic.”
“This park is good for all ages .”
The park playground is STILL not done. Why did they take the old stuff so early! Can go on hiking trail only and soccer fields and basketball court Sad
Great park to take the kids!! It has a 9/11 tribute which is amazing and the walking trail is very nice and scenic.
This park is good for all ages .. kids have a play area with swings, slides and other playing tools based on their ages. There is a big soccer ground and basket ball court for young adults to be stick around. The aged citizens do have a nice track for walk and shelters provide an environment for a great entertainment.
This is a nice little local park to let the kids run around. The playground area has some equipment and an area for smaller kids to be able to play without having to climb too high which is nice. The bigger kids have their own area with more challenging/higher things to climb.
