Confirmed from Memorial Park Hike & Bike Nature Trails' 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.
Well-kept park with basketball courts, baseball fields plus picnic areas and shaded walking trails.
What runners say about Memorial Park Hike & Bike Nature Trails
“Everything was clean and the grass, trees and flowers were all just beautiful and very well groomed.”
“Everything was clean and the grass, trees and flowers were all just beautiful and very well groomed.”
“A lot of the walking paths are covered with lots of good shade but in some spots it may be more sporadic so definitely be prepared in the sun/heat.”
This park is a pretty good size with much to do. We took advantage of the short hiking trail and took time to check out the dog park. The turtles were fun to watch! They have other activities you can take advantage of and can also rent out a pavilion, if I'm not mistaken, for special occasions.
Great park in Rockport TX. It has multiple baseball fields, Frisbee gulf field, soccer fields,, Skateboard Park, outdoor exercise equipment, a good size playground, hiking/biking trails, and Texas size dog parks small and large dogs. And a big pond full of turtles. There are plenty of picnic areas too..
Okay so this place surprised me. Super cool place to bring your family and spend the day. They have a cool playground, 10 picnic tables each with a charcoal grill, a big pavilion, baseball fields, soccer fields, and basketball courts. The reason we came was to walk the trails. We had no idea the rest of this was here.
Its a great place I love the trails. My son doesn't like it as much as he used to. It's missing something for older kids a slide maybe and the new work out area and skatepark are great but the skatepark needs to be more lit up at night (hopefully a bright light facing away from the road).
