Confirmed from Bent Tree 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.
Neighborhood park featuring a playground, open space and street parking.
What runners say about Bent Tree Park
“It's got a decent playground for the kiddos, but personally the biggest draw has always been it's potential to clock hours of quiet uninterrupted study time.”
Nice park with large open field and nearby access to Peter's Canyon trail. Beautiful neighborhood and trees.
Truly stellar little grassy "oasis" nestled in this suburban neighborhood. It's got a decent playground for the kiddos, but personally the biggest draw has always been it's potential to clock hours of quiet uninterrupted study time.
Good, clean park. No parking lot, just parking in the surrounding neighborhood or the perimeter of the park. Connects to Peters Canyon. We like to walk our dog here.
Bent Tree Park is a great place to take a walk. It's also conveniently close to Peter's Canyon, and has a play area and lawns for children to work out their wiggles.
