Confirmed from 38th Ave Neighborhood 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 38th Ave Neighborhood Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (200 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Located on 38th Ave between Brentwood and Hyattsville, slow down or you will miss it! This facility has beautiful areas designed for all ages. Located on a series of walking/hiking/biking trails, this park has parking, soft rubber surfaces and an integrated workout spot for adults with a large interactive playground…

★★★★★ — Cb , Sep 2022

I go here for the workout park and I enjoy the variety of gymnastics rings. Really great set of equipment here to get a full body workout whether it’s strength, endurance, or hypertrophy. They have a walking trail with smooth pavement, a large basketball court and a full tennis court.

★★★★★ — Rj , Jun 2026

Its a nice playground with climbing ropes and a cool double swing. It also has a nice section for the adults to work out in while the children play, though since its a 'climbing' playground you won't want to take your eyes off your kid for a second.

★★★★☆ — C.A , Nov 2019

Has everything you need! Place for kids to play, basketball court, tennis court, access to trails align the water, little beach like area against the stream and my favorite, a whole gymnastics workout pad with rings and bars to get your swole on

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.
