Confirmed from Belleville 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.

“Clean and lot's to play on🤩 a perfect place for the family to go out and have lots of fun 💕”

Belleville Park is an excellent park for jogging, walking or taking pictures. The cherry blossoms when in season looks phenomenal. They are updating the baseball fields an adding a soccer oh wait futbol field. Belleville park is a continuation of Branch Brook park of name change due to city line.

★★★★★ — Jerzc , Apr 2024

It's a completely renovated place, perfect for a family walk, a run, or a moment to relax, or perhaps just sit on the grass. Sports like baseball and soccer are also available, as the athletic fields have recently been completely renovated and are in perfect condition.

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.
