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.
What runners say about Memorial Park
“Dog friendly and are able to take the dogs off the leash unless there are other dogs who aren't friendly!”
They have four open pickleball courts that are well maintained and a basketball court along with a playground for kids and a nice walking path. Pretty good for all ages!
Lovely little park that you can run around on a trail. It would be great if it had more shade and upgraded the playground. It also has a basketball and tennis courts. The best part is that the town floods the ponds in the winter and makes a skating rink. Another pro is that you can walk to town from there.
We enjoy walking our dog here. lots of space for her to run around. there are also playground, two tennis count and basketball court. grass are always maintained.
Ultimate Frisbee here is great but the grass can be soggy in the spring because of all the shade. Lovely place to meet friends.
