Confirmed from Marciante-Jackson-Millet 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.
Park offering a view of the port, plus opportunities for walking and running.
What runners say about Marciante-Jackson-Millet Park
Nice park with a great walking and running path. There are two parking areas....one on Front Street and the other on Atalanta Plaza. Both have plenty of parking spaces and I’ve never had any issues finding parking at either lot. The Front street side has a small boardwalk area with good views.
