Confirmed from Blooms 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.
Neighborhood park featuring a paved trail system with 2 loops on the site of a former golf course.
What runners say about Blooms Park
“Beautiful, quiet little park with a very hilly 3 mile trail.”
“Beautiful, quiet little park with a very hilly 3 mile trail.”
Blooms Park is a nice place for a walk in the woods. There are two main trails. One is about a mile long, and the other is a little over 3 miles long. Dogs are allowed on leash. Today, I did not have much time for my walk, so I took the shorter route. There is a nice map at the trail head.
Was amazed at this 3 mile loop which immerses you in nature. For a long time, I never saw animals other than squirrels and birds, but I finally saw rabbits and deers here!
This is a fantastic place to: sweat it out, take a break, meditate, take photos of nature, watch wildlife!! Paved walk path all around the park. There are a few options/ difficulty levels with a few shortcuts available.
Beautiful, quiet little park with a very hilly 3 mile trail. Great for walking, jogging and enjoying nature. Not good for biking because of the many steep hills. The trail is mostly paved. Also there are a lot of bluebird houses set up throughout the park and so there are a lot of bluebirds flying around. Very pretty.
Trail conditions & character
“Wouldn't recommend running down these slopes unless you are an experienced runner/ jogger who can navigate such steep slopes.”
“The waking path is all concrete and with lots of ups and downs, please consider good gripped shoes for this.”
“Too steep for many to walk the entire loop so may want to turn around at the mile and some mark just above the pond where there is a bench for a view.”

“There is a large parking lot with a building, but no real signs until you get to the trail either beside or behind the building.”
“I came across Blooms Park while searching for trails I've never visited with my dog before.”
“Beautiful, quiet little park with a very hilly 3 mile trail.”
“Few Bathroom options are there in mid ways and in the starting point.”
“5 mile loop has 4-5 moderate to major uphill sections so you're going to get a really good workout.”
