Confirmed from Thomas E May 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.

What runners say about Thomas E May Memorial Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (33 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

It's the perfect end and beginning to the Morris canal trail. I walk the trail a lot and there aren't many days where you can't hear laughter as you reach the park end of the trail. I actually helped choose which different playground equipment went in. That was when I was just a child. How's that for local guide?
