Confirmed from Airport Greenbelt 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.

Best airport viewing park. Great place to watch aircraft and to watch the airport logistics. Great for plane spotting and tracking. Great for a run and walk. Pet friendly. Beautiful landscaping. Sculptures, statues and art instalation.

★★★★★ — Jade , Dec 2024

We drove along Griffin Road to find a place to park and watch the airplanes and were so delighted to see that the city built a park along the airstrip. The park is clean and has great views of the airplanes. Parking is ample and free. Great for taking a jog or riding a bike.

★★★★★ — Alicia , May 2024

This park is sandwiched between the airport and Griffin. It offers 2 trails. One path runs along a 35 ft high berm that runs the length of the runway. The path snakes up and down the berm giving you a vigorous workout as you walk up and down the hills. Approx 1.5 miles out and back. The other path is flat and easy.

★★★★★ — David , Oct 2023

Very intimate little walking park adjacent to the southern part of the airport runway. Great place to watch planes come in and take off. Strangely, it's very peaceful and serene. Not half as much foot traffic as county Parks

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.
