Confirmed from Beaty 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 Beaty Park
“Nice small park cute and nice trail and playground for kids probably 4 years and older smaller kids can injure themselves playing here overall nice clean park”
“I use this every day, it’s beautiful, pups and kiddos love it, plenty of room for whatever!”
“Some drawbacks include no shaded parking, no shade on the playground, many carpenter bees in the wooden playset, poison ivy along the sides of the nature trail.”
“It’s a small but perfectly designed park with a great playground, a charming trail that leads to a peaceful pond, and plenty of spots to sit, relax, or read.”
This park is really beautiful. Amazing aesthetic. Lovely wooden Beanstalk Builders playground, lovely nature trail around a pond with a fountain and bridges. Lovely green space for running around. Two pavilions, each with two picnic tables. Four benches. Lovely gardens.
Super cute play area. Pretty small, but it has a cute walking trail as well and picnic areas. Good for play dates, or short park visits.
Nice park with a playground and walking trails. A great place to relax.
We live in town and had guests visiting for Thanksgiving. Since nothing was open on Main Street because of the holiday, we decided to take a drive to Beaty Park—and wow, it’s so much more than what you see from the road!
