Confirmed from Blackburn 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.
38-acre park with picnic areas, walking trails, ball fields, tennis courts & a bird sanctuary.

Beautiful park in a nice quiet area of Webster Groves. Grabbed Fuzzy Taco and went to eat lunch at picnic table. Playground, pavilion, small hiking trail, and soccer field. Good place to bring a dog.
Beautiful little park with a lot to offer. Old trees. Walking paths, paved and rustic. Varying terrain of flat and hilly inclines. Playground. Pavilion. Bird Sanctuary. Ball fields. Parking. Horseshoes. Bathroom. Well cared for. Good for walking dogs. Bathrooms. Nestled into a sweet little neighborhood.
The most precious hidden gem! Multiple pavilions, 2 softball fields, 2 tennis courts, a soccer field and walking trails (including some through the wooded bird sanctuary) make this 36 acre park my favorite! I loved it so much that I bought my house in its neighborhood!
