Confirmed from Barrie 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.
Recreational areas featuring swings, slides and ballfields for baseball and soccer.
What runners say about Barrie Park
“This park is exceptionally clean with ample parking.”
“Not only its serene comfortable with and to enjoy the weather.”
first real snowfall means sledding at Barrie Park. Well kept sled hill and park. The 49 steps adds a good workout, for all. Stay to the sides and avoid the mud puddles in the middle!
This is my favorite place to run to, and they have a great big hill that is fun to rub up if you want to get strides. Also there's stairs here if you want to walk up some stairs and they even have a little sign that shows how many flights of stairs you'd have to walk up to climb some high mountain.
We had a blast on the hill!!! Only recommendation.....watch out when you get to the bottom and don't stick around once your ride is competed. Move out of the wayyyyyyy!!!
Our Oak Park park facilities serve our community so well. My kids have had so many great times at this park. Whether it's soccer, walk through or enjoying "the hill," in the winter, I love this place.
