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.
Riverfront park with 126 acres including an off-leash area, athletic fields, playground & trails.
What runners say about Memorial Park
“It's well maintained making for a pleasant experience over the mud pits that some dog parks are.”
“Very beautiful park has a great hiking trails.”
This place is absolutely beautiful. It's almost magical right along the Willamette River. There's some wonderful trails that it go through the forest. Full of ferns and moss, and it's just simply whimsical in some spots, you can get down to the water.
This is a great park in the heart of Wilsonville. The park is across the street from the town library and convenient access to shopping and food. In the summertime it has a terrific water park feature for younger kids and families. There are trails abounding everywhere and connect with a much larger park.
I cannot say enough great things about this park. There are two larger playgrounds that the kids love. If you are uncomfortable with playgrounds during the pandemic, there are MANY walking trails to take the dogs or kids for some fresh air and change of scenery.
This is a really special place. I love rhe pathways and the fact that the park design allows for so many different uses at once, without bumping into each other. There could be hundreds of people enjoying softball games, 32 walking the paths, 12 playing disc golf and who knows what else.
