Confirmed from Benton 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.
Park featuring a playground, picnic areas, restrooms, a basketball court, an athletic field & more.
What runners say about Benton Park
I would really appreciate it. If the city would consider putting lights around the park. It's pretty dark sometimes. I love jogging there! P.S FYI I don't jog after 9:30😉
