Confirmed from Birdsong Parklands' 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.
Wooded 1-mile nature trails with bridges and ponds, open for walking and cycling.
What runners say about Birdsong Parklands
“Beautiful trails can't wait to see this in the summer dogs allowed as long as on leash garbage cans on the trail and if you don't have any doggie bags by parking”
“Quiet and beautiful place walk was nice dogs welcome on leash”
“Quiet and beautiful place walk was nice dogs welcome on leash”
It's a nice, quiet little park. Great for refreshing, walking and connecting with nature with a breath of fresh air.
Nice 1/2 mile paved walk way with multiple benches for those in need of a rest or just wish to enjoy watching the flocks of Canada geese. There are well maintained nature trails for those who fancy a walk in the woods.
There is a shorter paved path for those who enjoy that terrain. But there are other wooded paths. There are bridges made of wooden planks and the rest is a dirt/stone combination. Very pretty and quiet. There are multiple entrances and once inside you'll see it is much more expansive than expected.
Nicely kept trail to go for a walk or ride a bike. Birds of many kinds to see, lush grass, dense woods. Very relaxing. See more on my YouTube channel TheBeachStarExperience.
