Confirmed from Bendix 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.
A 75-acre park with a large pond, basketball courts, soccer field, playground & pavilion.
What runners say about Bendix Park
Nice little park. Seems kinda private, and off the beaten path. This is definitely a family friendly park. There's a playground and I think I saw Horseshoe pits too.!! Plenty of grass for dogs and their owners to play. Never knew it was here. I found it while roaming around looking for yard sales. Highly recommend.
Small park behind railroad tracks, next a Siemens production facility. Despite this still a great place to walk your dog or bring your kids. Small lake in the back, with some geese and ducks along with limited fishing.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
