Confirmed from Bellerive 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.

well-maintained 6 mentions

“Great parking, clean well taken care of lawns and playground for kids of all ages!”

Great place to go for a walk. There is a nice paved trail, two baseball fields and a small park for kids.

★★★★★ — Andrew , Aug 2021

This is a great little park, just off 63rd but from most of it you can barely see or hear the traffic. With a playground for kids and a skateboarding park for the older kids, there is also a lot of open area to wander, enjoy some quite, or play soccer.

★★★★★ — Arturius , Mar 2018

We've been doing summer soccer practice here with the boys. (practice, not games so they've been socially distanced) which has been a blessing. The field is extremely clean and well kept. If no events are going on it would be a great spot to run around, fly a kite, etc!

★★★★★ — Stuart , Jun 2020

This is a great little park with a nice paved walking trail. It has a nice covered area with picnic tables and the bathrooms are very clean. They just installed pickleball courts and it has a soccer field and playground area. It's also pet friendly.

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.
