Confirmed from Rosemont Park Nature Reserve'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.
Small, well-maintained park featuring a pond, benches, and trails suitable for families and dogs.
What runners say about Rosemont Park Nature Reserve
“Beautiful small and well maintained park with a few short trails ideally for low exertion.”
“It's a beautiful spot to bring dogs or kids, and the elderly could navigate easily as well.”
This is right around the corner from my work and has been a place I often go to even on lunch for a bit of peace. They recently added more trails and some benches. Also added a portable restroom. It's a beautiful spot to bring dogs or kids, and the elderly could navigate easily as well.
I just recently moved to Monroe and was excited to have this area close by. I took my dog for a visit today. We both loved it. It is on the smaller side, but it is still very enjoyable. We walked the trails a few times before heading home. Will definitely come back again.
My dog and I enjoyed our walk. It's an easy loop walk suitable for dogs and kids. The pond is way smaller than pictured, but I enjoyed the shade and wild flowers.
A bit challenging to find but worth the effort. Small park with soft walking trails and a few open spaces for sitting but bring your own chairs or a blanket. Short paths but you can circle through them for greater distance.
