Confirmed from Morrill Meadows 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.
Dog park offering a fenced-off area for small & shy dogs, as well as parking lots on both ends.
What runners say about Morrill Meadows Park
“It's usually pretty quiet, with clean restrooms and a covered picnic area with several BBQ grills.”
“The picnic spot and restrooms are fairly close to a sometimes busy road, so not prarticularly scenic, but still a nice spot.”
What a pleasant and quick walk in the park. Exactly what I needed. It was too cold for anything more. We originally came for the dog park, but the park has a weird layout so we parked in the wrong area.
I like coming here. Great for kids, there's a trail and it's very quiet in the mornings and afternoons before all the kids are out of school! People walk their dogs around, sometimes the geese graze there too.
Great playground and natural trail area. Also really loved idea of sculptures that are same time used as outdoor gym equipment. Kids really loved to do exercises.
A huge shoutout to the City of Kent Parks and Recreation for the fantastic new playground! It’s been such a joy to walk through the park and hear the sounds of kids and adults laughing and playing. The space is vibrant and welcoming, and I've seen so many families, individuals, and elderly folks truly enjoying it.
