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.
Outdoor recreation area with a paved, multi-use trail, plus play equipment for younger & older kids.
What runners say about Barrows Park
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.
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.
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.
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.
