Confirmed from Michael J. Tully 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.
Sporty park with an athletics track, tennis & basketball courts, baseball fields & a dog area.
What runners say about Michael J. Tully Park
“Finally found a clean and large dog park for my French Bulldog.”
Good place to take kids during summer break. July 2023 update - the aquatic center looks a lot better after the reno. The slide is fun for big kids and the grounds are well kept. Very big field to just run around and tire out the little ones. April 2024 update - the pickle ball courts and the tennis court look amazing.
Nice park w some extra rec courts. Nice lil nature to walk through, and a decent bit of odd graffiti.
It was great- many activities for everyone young and old, great for walks jogging running , but we do need water fountains that have water. Our dog needs water in the warm weather.
