Confirmed from Memorial Field 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 featuring a playground and picnic areas, as well as basketball and tennis courts.
What runners say about Memorial Field Park
“The park is well maintained, great parking and a cute snack bar.”
“Great, peaceful place to enjoy nature!”
Great adult-sized jungle gym with 10 different obstacles. (Actually, 11 if you count the border that runs around the area, which is actually very useful.) One of the few parks in the area that has legitimate set of adult-sized monkey bars.
Great day for a walk in the park. I had to avoid tree limbs down from Saturday storm.
