Confirmed from Memorial Park Mountain Biking 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.
What runners say about Memorial Park Mountain Biking Trails
“Awesome trails, great for running or biking.”
One of the better biking trails in Houston that are well kept. The Green ridge trail is moderately challenging for bikers and easy for hikers. Be careful after it rains because it can get a bit muddy.
Love having this trail within the Houston limits. My girlfriend and I like “escaping” for a bit and doing a few casual miles in these fun trails. Don’t encounter too many people on the trials which is nice but the ones that you do are always nice. Great place to get your nature in
Some trails are one-track, some are wide enough for a semi. Parts of one-tracks are technical. All trails are well-kept, except for those that are blocked off. Be a trailblazer. All can be hiked, biked, ran, etc. Be alert on those multi-use one-tracks. Yelling helps.
Nice hike in Memorial Park. Good to walk, run and bike. You can also check the bayou.
