Confirmed from Myrick 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.
Enduring park with paved paths, a large wooden play structure, picnic areas & a nature center.
What runners say about Myrick Park
“Beautiful park where the Turned Leaf Festival (sober alternative to Oktoberfest) was celebrated today.”
Has restrooms (during seasonal hours), I love the options of a bike path to walk, amazing view, castle park, great for toddlers as well. We had an amazing time
Fun park with a variety of scenery and trails. Lots to do and see here. Trails go through the marsh. There is a community garden. A big playground (away from nature so you can still escape the city) and lots of seating. Great picnic spot. Has a dog park.
Beautiful park! Playground, picnic tables, walking and biking paths, all make thus a great place for people of any age to have fun outdoors. The bikes are cheep to rent and there's wildlife viewers you can use for free. The park is busy all day. There are good area maps with path/trail distances.
Lots to do here, many features Playground and Arboretum, hiking trails and Nature Place, lots of space for gatherings The marsh loop is especially interesting, with paved and unpaved sections Playground is EPIC and recently renovated, includes historic theatre area
