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
“Two areas: toddler and big kid friendly, clean bathrooms, enough parking, picnic tables, plaza nearby.”
What a great park! A perfect place for kids to play, make friends and run around! There is an ENORMOUS play structure for bigger kids and a smaller one for little tots. The main playground has this really cool dinosaur themed sandbox. Finish it off with a big field and a baseball diamond and you're set.
We love this park because of its play structure and the massive land available for running for humans and furry pets! Cartwheels are a must! Lots of parking, tables for pick nicks are open now too...plus a restroom on site. Just bring your own soap just in case ....
It's been more than 30 years since I've spent any time here. A lot has changed and a lot remains the same. I was excited to see how my kids would take it all in and they loved every part of it. The skate park and rebuilt play structure are welcome changes since I was a kid.
Nice big enclosed space with lots of room to run, play games or be alone. Two areas: toddler and big kid friendly, clean bathrooms, enough parking, picnic tables, plaza nearby.
Trail conditions & character
“While parking is plentiful, navigating to the correct spot can be a bit tricky—my GPS led me to the opposite end of the park.”
“If you didn't there's the Red Hill shopping plaza within walking distance for a coffee or fro-yo.”
