Confirmed from McGratton 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.
Family-friendly park featuring a basketball court-like space, a playground and a skate park.
What runners say about McGratton Park
“I like that there's shade, and that there are places for the weary older folks to rest.”
“Love this park as everything for all ages except bathroom.”
Nice, smooth surface to skateboard on (one of the previous "ramps" is no longer there, presume it was stolen). Lot's of oak trees providing shade, several benches and picnic tables available. Nice walking track and basketball court (2) area. Small playground area for younger kiddos (5-12) with a wood mulch base.
I enjoyed the visit to this park with my daughter and granddaughter. I like that there's shade, and that there are places for the weary older folks to rest.
