Confirmed from Ramsdell 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.
Park-like area offering a playground (for older kids) and picnic tables, plus a shallow pool.
What runners say about Ramsdell Park
“Well maintained, great family place, easy parking with very little walking to get to the park and pool.”
“This is such a peaceful yet fun park for the community.”
Fun park with a great little 1 foot swimming pool which is free to use. This park is in memory of a fallen police officer, Curtis John Ramsdell, who fell in the line of duty. This park is perfect for a child's birthday party or just for taking them to a safe and free swimming pool in the community.
Perfect nice clean park tons of space for the kidds to run around overall beautiful did receive few Glares but still had fun also 1 downsilde the bathrooms were locked so we had to use the Portable bathroom which was gross
Well maintained, great family place, easy parking with very little walking to get to the park and pool. Friendly people, ice cream truck always there.
