Confirmed from Zemurray 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.
Neighborhood park featuring a playground, a pond, baseball, a gazebo, a skate park & more.

This is a very nice park. Being new to this area I didn’t know what to expect . It’s very nice. They stock the pond so the citizens can fish, it’s nice an shady to walk and enjoy . There’s a nice play area for the children . The swimming pool is awesome .
I love this place. We love the train rides for special events. It is free for the train ride you just have to wait in line. Easter and Christmas time are wonderful. They also have free fishing. Walking track and park with a pond.
Nice clean park, well kept!! Nice Dog Park. Running water for the dogs and even a couple kiddie pools for the dogs to cool off. Plenty of shade and plenty of benches for sitting!! I definitely enjoyed this dog park.
I enjoyed walking with my son. The trees have a really healing vibe to them. So I recommend going for a stroll take your shoes off and ground yourself! Enjoy the moments
