Confirmed from Beattie 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 9 mentions

“Best place personally is the gazebo on top of the hill, very beautiful, nice view.”

It is amazing that we live in area that has so much beauty. The hike to the gazebo is steep, but a great workout. There is frisbee golf, basketball courts, picnic tables, a memorial, and vast areas of free space to run around.

★★★★☆ — Amanda , Nov 2023

The park is beautiful. There's areas for little kids (below 5 years) and another area for the bigger ones. Bathrooms are just a short distance away. There is plenty of shade and seating as well as pic nic tables for lunches or parties.

★★★★★ — G , Apr 2024

Park is very beautiful with story posts, beautiful path and grass. Wonderful large playground and covered picnic tables. However, hoodlums surrounded parents one evening a couple years ago, asking them for money. Maybe needs more patrolling as the sun sets?

★★★★☆ — Alma , Dec 2024

Great park to get fresh air and exercise. The memorial garden is beautifully poignant & the hike up to the gazebo is short but gets the heart pumping! From there, the view of the city is something else!

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.
