Confirmed from Blue Springs 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.
Accessible 14-acre park with lit softball, tennis & basketball courts, a playground & 2 shelters.
What runners say about Blue Springs Park
“Lovely trees and well kept grass fields.”
This park is a great place for a picnic, basketball, volleyball, or tennis, not so great if you are going just for the playground. Lots of shaded grassy areas. The playground has swings, toddler swings, and lots of climbing equipment. The playground could use an update.
Our shelter was a great place for a large group picnic. The bathrooms aren't great. They work and have running water so really really good.
Nice little neighborhood park. We went there to walk today. It would be nice to have another bench or two where folks could sit.
Trail conditions & character
“No walking path and the bathrooms could use an update.”

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- At the trailheadrestrooms, water — reported by runners
- Stroller / wheelchairReported as smooth and step-free enough for a running stroller or a chair.
