Confirmed from Victory Memorial Parkway'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.

“Really great path for running with some decent shade and relatively flat.”

Great paths for rolling, walking & running. Paved pathways. Kids love excessive Pokemon Go action. Educational place to learn about the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln and much more . there are headstone at each tree from the dead of the Civil War.

★★★★☆ — Troy , Aug 2017

Currently, Victory Memorial Park is a hot spot for Pokemon go players. Personally, I don't play Pokemon go. I don't really understand the fascination, but it seems to be pretty popular. It's a gorgeous park with great Trails for biking, walking and rollerblading.

★★★★★ — Perry , Aug 2018

It's a big, long green space with some memorial markers. Really great path for running with some decent shade and relatively flat. It's got dogs in it a lot. And people riding bikes. It's not an exciting park, but it is good for what it exists for.

Long, tree-lined green-way. Connected to Wirth Parkway, nice to walk or drive. Added attraction for Pokemon GO Trainers...literally lined with 100 Poke-stops accessible by car along the

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.
