Confirmed from Bialek 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, basketball courts, and baseball fields, plus skateboarding and picnic areas.
What runners say about Bialek Park
“This park is very well maintained and is a great place to play basketball, catch, or just to enjoy the weather.”
This is a very nice park. They have a lot of fields and a lot of room for a lot of activity. We were there for the Special Olympics events that were being held on that day but I think it's a fantastic place to have them. The track is nice and made for running and the long jump pit had plenty of really nice sand.
Wonderful park with lots of age options and mobility options for kids! If there are games going the concession stand is great, and if there aren't there are fields the kids can run on!
