Confirmed from Blanchette 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.

What runners say about Blanchette Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (845 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is our favorite park in the St. Charles area. Seems to be less crowded than Jaycee but still a lot of fun. Very cool playground with lots of slides. There are a couple pavilions and a nice walking trail with some memorials. Park is located in back at a safe distance from any baseball fields.

★★★★★ — Sara , May 2021

Very nice park! I've gotten spoiled by Forest Park since movie to St. Louis and though this one isn't as big it still has that really nice feel. We were there for a practice game for my husbands baseball league. The baseball fields were great and there was a great little play area for kids.

★★★★★ — Echo , Jun 2020

The three story play ground is sure to captivate your child . This park has it all .If your looking for a hill to sled down this winter the bowl located in Blanchette is mint .

★★★★★ — Majestic , Oct 2021

Always a good time. Just way to cold the day we came to sled. Brought my daughter. That hill didn't disappoint! Lol our sled broke and I think we almost died but we survived and laughed at the end. No Injuries and reminds of me when I was a kid.

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.
