Confirmed from Bain 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.
City park with benches, grills, slides, swings and a playground, plus a cabin for rent.
What runners say about Bain Park
“The woods walk is beautiful and the kids loved playing Billy goats gruff on all the bridges”
Smallish park but nice walk through woods and paths are lined with wood chips so it doesn't get muddy
This city park contains a small meandering Creek called Coe Creek. It has a walking trail which connects Bain Park cabin at one end with a picnic shelter house at the other end. There are four stone Bridges across the creek between the two ends of the trail. The bridges were built by the WPA in the 1930s.
Great place to go on a walk, bike, jog and just really to hang around in. It is popular for middle School students during spring and summer so try to avoid during after school hours but mornings are great!
Beautiful trail through the woods, but hard to get a stroller through. Playsets are great sizes for many ages. Maybe a little more mulch to avoid lakes emerging after rain.. But a great play area.
