Confirmed from Bloomer 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.
City park known for its unique 1/8-mile bicycle racing oval boasts all-year sport & activity spaces.
What runners say about Bloomer Park
“With tons of well-maintained trails, it’s a haven for hikers, bikers, and nature lovers alike.”
“There was plenty of wildlife around to view, wooden bridges for crossing streams and marshy areas, and beautiful areas to relax near the Clinton River.”
“Bloomer Park is a beautiful outdoor space that offers a peaceful escape into nature.”
Good park, excellent trail designed to have more walk in limited space. Very nice surrounding. Good play areas for children. Nice open gym facilities for people. Excellent shed and amenities for party and it has lovely scenic balcony. Enjoyed walk here. Please note it opens at 7 am.
Best place in Rochester hills park wise. The nature is so pretty. Nice tidbits of history throughout on the walks. Lots of stairs to get down. Not good for those with bad knees. Saw a blue Heron yesterday!!
We decided to check this park out after googling "best parks in Oakland county" (we are from macomb and know most of the parks). Boy, they were not wrong! This place is HUGE. We counted at least 5 play structures. That, however, is not what this place is about. The TRAILS, you guys. Holy moly.
I frequently hike this park in the winter months dueto high animal activity and low human activity. The trails are easy to navigate and there are some excellent spots to see deer, beaver and coyote. A few bird's of prey are around as well.

“There are quite a number of connected trails in the parks, which give a lot of options to distances and elevations.”
“Play ground for kids, hiking trails, biking trails, MTB trails (easy to extremely challenging), large open fields, workout area, covered pavilion, restrooms, and so much more.”
“Bloomer Park is a beautiful outdoor space that offers a peaceful escape into nature.”
“Some trails are elevated up and down, and some are quite flat, so you can pick and choose, but there is no sign or markings to tell.”
