Confirmed from Bellingham 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.

Nice little park in downtown Mooresville. Moved here last May. Still exploring all there is to do here! Lots of great parks here. We picked this one because the city were from is Bellingham, WA. Kind of cool. Bellingham park on Bellingham Rd.

I visited this newly renovated park today with a mommy group, and it was such a great experience! We had a group of eight toddlers (all five and under), and the space was safe for them. This space is well suited for 6+ year old.

Mooresville Parks are great! Always clean and well maintained. We live closest to Bellingham Park and walk there almost daily with our 2 year old daughter. There is plenty of well maintained playground equipment for kids from 2 years and up as well as swings including a few bucket style swings for little ones.

★★★★★ — Daniel , Nov 2022

Lots to do here for big and small kids. 2 separate playgrounds with slides, climbing walls for bigger kids and things to climb on for smaller kids. This also has tennis courts, baseball fields and a paved shaded trail for to wall or bike thru.

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.
