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.

What runners say about Benton Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (18 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

There is a hill with a walking trail behind the park that will get your heart pumping if you walk up it

★★★★★ — Ansel , Feb 2022

Beautiful neighborhood park with playground. Nice trail for hiking with some hills to get your HR up.

★★★★★ — Cindy , Aug 2021

This neighborhood park is cozy but it has Mt Hood view and a short trail in the woods. I like it!

★★★★★ — Jamie , Oct 2023

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.
