Confirmed from Munson 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.
Child-friendly park with a skateboard area and a pond for sledding on its hill.
What runners say about Munson Park
“Clean well maintained park went here for a youth soccer game”
“Once in the morning and once at night to walk my dog and play catch.”
We love going to this park! The playground could use a nice update but it's not bad. The kids always have fun there, whether we're at the playground or just rolling down the big hill. It's a pretty clean park.
I love Muson park. The only thing I wish it had was a Dog park! We don't have any in the City or even our County of Monroe. This is a great park and I especially love walking the trails in the very back of the park. Trails are well maintained and very pretty to walk. I enjoy walking my dogs on the trails.
I come bere to walk hike or jog. There is a great gravel path around the perimeter of the park. They also have two wooded sections in the back that are great for walking. They are designed for bike paths, but I walk or jog them. There, you can see deer, a variety of birds, and other wildlife.
I've enjoy this park. I go here everyday to walk my dog. Many well maintained walking trails. Nice off-road hiking trails. Though they can get sloppy when it rains. Plenty of room to do whatever you want from soccer to baseball to flying kites, there's room.
