Confirmed from Barrows 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 Barrows Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (198 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is a really fun park to stop by if you're walking the trail or live nearby. Good structures and slides for kids 2-10 ish. No designated parking. I was there today, and ran into multiple groups of people looking for a splash pad.. there is no splash pad at Barrows park, fyi.

★★★★☆ — Caitlin , Jun 2022

Barrows park is a narrow type park/trail with a nice playground area and plenty of benches, the trail crosses multiple neighborhood streets and connects to the Westside trail. Nice place for a quick walk for you and your dog.

★★★★★ — Jake , Jun 2022

It's a great little park with a couple of small play structures - one is good for bigger kids, and one is good for little kids. It has a paved bike and walking trail that's pretty heavily used that goes right by it. As a bonus, it has a little natural area that has some trails that can be fun for kids to explore.

★★★★☆ — Aaron , Jan 2018

The park has a nice, half-mile paved trail (used to be Old Scholls Ferry Rd) with plenty of shade along Summer Creek. There is also a drinking fountain (with one for the dogs.as well) two playgrounds (one for toddlers and the other for older kids) and picnic tables.

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.
