We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Mary Ellen Kramer Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 with walking trails, for sightseeing and relaxing, focused on the Great Patterson Falls.
