We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Sperr Memorial Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

Lovely park, well maintained and a great vantage point for watching a sunset. Will go back soon and try the walking trails!

★★★★☆ — Carissa , Jul 2024

It has a small playground. A good size pavilion with picnic tables and grills. Two Porta potties. A nice pond you can walk around and is connected to a Rail Trail that you can walk or bike on. There's a trail that goes around the smaller pond for walking. Dog friendly (clean up after them)!

★★★★★ — Jillian , Jun 2023

This is an amazing park that has a lot of local wildlife around. The trail goes along the left side of the pond, or you can circle through. There is a small observation deck that overlooks a small portion of the pond. It does offer a pavilion and a playground as well. The trail is small stone it is not paved.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
