Confirmed from Beal 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.
Sizable area featuring a playground, sports facilities, an off-leash dog park & a fishing pond.
What runners say about Beal Park
“really like this park — it’s clean, open, and usually a great spot to relax or take a walk.”
We recently moved here and I would have never expected for this small Oasis to be so close to my neighborhood. There is fun for all ages. There is a playground, basketball courts, a skate park, a pond (with ducks), doggy park, hiking trails and a gazebo.
Great place to go take your dog for a walk or even spend time.with the family fishing at the pond(catch and release). They ha e a soccer complex, Basball fields, a small and large dog park and the Sam William skate park. One thing this place is missing is a frisbee golf course. It perfect for such a park.
A nice park with a baseball field, soccer field, dog park, duck pond, skate park and amenities for frisbee golf. The park is well maintained and has a nice walking trail. The landscaping is nice and overall pleasant.
Huge, beautiful, lots of shade trees, baseball parks, volleyball nets, walking trail, and ponds. Lots of ducks and geese. Playgrounds, and plenty of benches and picnic tables. If I was still a mother of young children, I would certainly bring my kids here for a day visit!
Trail conditions & character
“But since my kids are grown, and all I have is a fur baby, the waggin tails dog park (connected to the rest of the park, south east end ) was absolutely perfect for my fur baby!”
“Complete with picnic tables & benches, there’s Tons of room to run, a working water fountain in the middle of the dog park was a great addition!”

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- At the trailheadrestrooms, water — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
