Confirmed from Memorial 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.
Shady park featuring baseball, softball and basketball fields, plus 2 playgrounds.
What runners say about Memorial Park
“Hard to keep bathrooms up and clean on a public park but these didn't appear to have been touched in a week.”
This is a nice little Park with a couple shelters and picnic tables great place for little family picnics good place to bring the kids to play has a lot of open flat grass for kids to run and play I bring my child here often.
Went to Spoonbread Festival for the 1st time. Parked at a school about 1/2 mile away and was able to get ride to festival via golf cart. Nice festival with food, drinks, rides, live music, and a nice police presence.
In a quiet, shaded area. We went after a big rain storm so the kiddos got muddy from all the saturated ground. Fun place for younger kids and toddlers
Kiddos always have a blast! Clean and monitored by police when times are needed. Thankful to always be walking distance from such a great park!

“There is a big pavilion with tables that a group reserved (which was why we went there), and it has bathrooms and is right off the parking lot.”
“Took my kids to see the lights and do a few pictures of them, I love how Berea is so family oriented”
