Confirmed from McKenzie 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 neighborhood park with picnic tables, plus baseball, basketball and soccer areas.

“Nice park with parking and lots of safe equipment for all ages”

I love how close parking is to this park. And there is plenty of it. This is the best baby section playground I have seen. And we got to many playgrounds. We spent half our time here running and playing in the large field. There are plenty of slides and climbing structures to keep the Littles entertained.

★★★★★ — Hannah , May 2024

It's a small park but it's a nice place to walk around. They have a play ground, ice rink and a baseball area.

★★★★★ — Lorelei , Jan 2020

Quiet, one or two families when I've visited here for a walk. You don't get bothered or harassed for spare change by vagrants. All in all a nice little place away from everything...GREAT JOB!!

★★★★★ — Danielle , Sep 2019

This is a nice little park with a trail, fields, and a playground. It is small enough where you can sit in any spot and not lose track of your charges who are playing.
