Confirmed from Monroe Township 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 Monroe Township Memorial Park
“Monroe Township's 911 memorial park is a quiet place to walk around and see beautiful specimen trees and relax on one of the benches.”

Very pretty park. Not large but very nice. Nice monument to 9/11. Also nice gazebo. Nice place to walk your dog, or look for little quiet peace and tranquility. Lot of different type of plants. All labeled as to their typical name, and Latin name. Very quiet. Nice little escape.
This is a very small park but very nice. I see many people walk their dogs here. It's very pretty, peaceful and nice for short walks.
Wonderfully small and quiet memorial park. Great for relaxation and walking on a paved path.
If your looking for a nice short walk this is it. A nice quiet park even though its right off a major road. They have a veterans monument and 911 memorial. They maintain this park very well and on benches it tells you that they are made from plastic from old milk jugs awesome
