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.
Playground, walking trails and wooded areas for picnics and baseball games.
What runners say about Memorial Park
“It stays cool and the flowers and landscaping is well kept.”
“Otherwise the park is beautiful, bridge is cool, scenery is awesome but the playground is cool too just a little old.”
“Calm little park with a walking path, deck hockey, tennis, ball field, and a couple picnic pavilions.”
I love to walk here. There is a half mile track, under tress. It stays cool and the flowers and landscaping is well kept.
Lovely, little community park with nice pavillons and play ground areas. Band stand, tennis/pickle ball courts.. deck hockey, walking path& baseball field. Public restrooms. Showing it's wear in some areas but still a little treasure!
Beautiful place to have a relaxing walk alo.g the creek. Shoot some pool. Maybe do some tennis. And nice play ground for kids to play.
The walking trail is beautiful and serene. The woman who takes care of all the gardens deserves much praise!
