Confirmed from Ber Juan 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.

There are several playground areas (some are actually shaded) and sidewalks to walk, as well as ball fields. Most of them are well kept up, clean and mowed. There are several pavilions and picnic tables scattered around and a small lake that you can walk around and watch water fowl on. There is a skateboard park.

★★★★★ — Christina , Sep 2021

This is a pretty nice park. It's one of the better parks Rolla offers and has. There are plenty of recreational fields for sports, baseball, soccer, etc... Playground for the kids. There is also a basketball court near the playground. A modest waterpark is also located in this park. Nice paved walking path.

★★★★☆ — William , May 2024

Beautiful athletic fields, large fishing pond, picnic shelters and playground. There is a small half basket ball court and disc frisbee course. Plenty of shady trees to play tag under.Also a small water park that's available during the summer. We enjoyed walking the grounds.

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.
