Leita Thompson Memorial Park

Have been coming to this park last 8-10 years! My dog, Muffin, passed away in June, 2023 and I had stopped coming here since then but … Visited today ( Jan 1, 2026) once again with my friend. We captured few photos during our morning walk. Very nice park. Roads are uneven but the up and down slope are helpful for leg muscles exercise. There is a pond. Plenty of chairs are available along the park for resting. There are no toilets inside the park but the basic ones are available near the main entrance. There are 3 trails - red, yellow and blue. Red one is the longest- 2.25 miles.

Quick easy trail with different routes to make it longer or shorter depending on how you feel. Love the free little library exchange thats in the lower parking lot(closer to the trail start).. there is also a dog park at the first parking lot with a fun little playground and agility training in the larger dog side.

This park and trail was a surprise having driven by many times and not knowing the extent of the trail. The trail was one of the best maintained I have seen and the signage was great.

This park is a great little spot and a local gem. Perfect for a dog walk and take in the nature during any season. The walk is moderate and most all abilities can handle it. It’s a nice little workout but nothing extreme. The whole loop takes about 45 minutes. I’ve seen some friendly deer and other animals and the trails are well maintained. The dog park is huge and never really that busy. The whole place is fun for pups and people that want to get outside and enjoy nature.

Really nice trail system that goes thru a canopy of trees. Has a little stream and bridges. A port a potty is there for use. NOT recommended for strollers, wheel chairs and the like. Paths themselves were a little difficult to navigate with a walking disability. Lots of tree roots, washed out areas, uneven ground. Seating areas helped though for resting. Mostly clean, some folks refused to pick up after dogs. The dog parks were large and spacious with running water and poop bags. Unfortunately there were people with large dogs in the small dog area instead of in the big dog area. There is a sign saying 25lb and under. Had to do u-turn to get into rutty gravel parking lot. Did not walk the whole system. Yet.
