Confirmed from Ralph Diaz 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.
This 8-acre park has tree-lined walking & jogging trails with exercise stations & picnic tables.
What runners say about Ralph Diaz Memorial Park
“It’s filled with many beautiful birds in the day time and the real owners of the park, the cats that come out at night.”
“Nice, clean, full of green and trees that create a nice shade on your walks.”
Love this place. A small, quiet park to get a quick getaway to sit, read or write. Or you can work out, you can take a nice brisk walk around the trail. No kids playground but perfect for adults.
Closest park to the hotel we were staying in for the weekend. My roommate likes to run and I like taking 📸 of nature. It was the perfect spot for both of us!
Nice, quaint neighborhood park. Gravel walk/ jog path and picnic tables.
I go jogging at this park 3-4 times a week, it’s one of my favorite places to burn some calories. It’s filled with many beautiful birds in the day time and the real owners of the park, the cats that come out at night. Wonderful little trail that I didn’t know I would love.
