We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Bailey Arboretum County Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Wooded and manicured grounds, including a children's garden, picnic tables and an event space.

I LOVE this place!!! They truly care about saving wildlife!! Also 42 beautiful acres with a dedicated dog walking area! I brought these baby possums and they took them right away!
Love the trails and trees here. No more owls and bird rescue in front though.
It's a very nice small park/arboretum in the middle of The Gold Coast of LI, surrounded by mansions that can exceed over $50 Million. You can see these mansions behind tall gates and long winding driveways. The arboretum is very nicely laid out. There's a children section, 2 ponds that have swans/ducks/turtles.
We love this park. It has a greenhouse and small community garden full of veggies. There is an outdoor stage with a beautiful xylophone and more for kids put on a show. Picnic area and kids playhouse are easily accessible. Walk through trail to visit the rescued birds on site. Many trails through the woods as well.
