Confirmed from Barthelmas 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.

“Dog friendly with leash and there are bags provided to clean up if your dog uses the bathroom.”

Large park with a tennis court, baseball field, basketball court, playground, soccer field, and shelter area. Dog friendly with leash and there are bags provided to clean up if your dog uses the bathroom. Very clean and well kept. Plenty of room to walk as well. The park closes at dark. The parking lot is huge!

★★★★☆ — Tiffany , Apr 2025

Great park. Several baseball and soccer fields. Decent playground. The park is large enough to also walk around if one is looking for a little low- impact exercise. Very accessible and easy to notice. Well maintained and usually clean. Several shelter houses and several restrooms. Great place to let the kids roam free!

★★★★★ — Danny , Apr 2018

They have since redone this park and its awesome plenty of new things for the children( and adults) to climb on new swings new areas to play picnic cook out and my personal favorite some amazing trails.

★★★★★ — Kat , Sep 2019

Very nice park. Has a shelter with tables, at least two sports fields and a small park on the hill. There are public restrooms, but they're locked unless a game is in session.

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.
