Confirmed from Marilla 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.
Neighborhood green space with an outdoor public pool, skate park, baseball fields & tennis courts.
What runners say about Marilla Park
“They put in a large covered shelter and it was really clean.”
Good place if you want to take a break and just clear your head. Easy access to the rail trail too.
A lovely urban forest surrounded by residential development on the eastern edge of Morgantown, and has a number of developed recreational features (a pool, a skate park, tennis courts, etc.).
This is a huge park! Over 45 acres and includespool, water slides, baseball fields, playgrounds (two of them!), basketball courts, and a huge soccer field. The tennis complex has six courts, two of which have lighting available.
Awesome local park with tons amenities. Right along Deckers Creek Trail and in a nice part of town. I thoroughly enjoyed coming here, even in the winter the snow was managed. It was very clean too and I felt safe here.
Trail conditions & character
“It was nice to have a good walk around on the trail system and there are public restrooms available though they were locked when I visited.”
