Confirmed from Blanchard Woods 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.
Soccer fields share this clean park with a playground, a skateboard area and woods.
What runners say about Blanchard Woods Park

“2023-07: Still a beautiful park with a scenic trail with a lot of wildlife to see.”
“A really fun looking BMX track that all ages can enjoy.”
2023-07: Still a beautiful park with a scenic trail with a lot of wildlife to see. My most recent visits included a treat of seeing a turtle along the trail, as well as baby frogs in many places and dragonflies that wanted to pose for pictures. 😂.
The park grounds are always clean and well-maintained. Blanchard Woods has several soccer and football fields, a playground, and a skateboard park, but my favorite feature is the running trail.
easy to get to this park. has great 3 mi. trail for a leg workout and someone else was correct about the maps on the wrong posts (needs map-reading skills) no bugs but be aware, saw others making ready for a backpacking trip and some runners. walked it CCW & CW, 60/40 shade (sun at noon).
This was the first skateboard park I have been too. It is a very nice park. As you drive in from the main entrance of the park the GPS is a little misleading. If you follow the GPS around the soccer field on your right, drive straight towards the back of the parking lot until it curves to the left.
Trail conditions & character
“If you follow the GPS around the soccer field on your right, drive straight towards the back of the parking lot until it curves to the left.”
“Once it curves there is a parking lot that is dirt/grass right in front of the skateboard park or you can park in the paved parking lot that is in front of the bathrooms.”
