Confirmed from Bob Briscoe 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.
Park featuring disc golf courses and a covered playground, along with a soccer field.
What runners say about Bob Briscoe Park
“When driving along that route, I noticed this park and decided to stop by, found this park very great, green and clean!”
“But the course was spacious and the views were beautiful.”
When driving along that route, I noticed this park and decided to stop by, found this park very great, green and clean! Very specious park, soccer fields, frisbee golf courses, long walking trails, dogs park, even a small lake was there!
Nice quiet area for the parents. Nice small play area for the kids. Great walking trails & dog trails.
This park is great. It has a walking trail with a pond, basketball court, field for soccer or football, dog park and lighted disc golf course. Honestly, I like walking that area at night since it is one of the few places to safely walk at night. You even get to see some cows on your scenic walk.
Great playground with shade covering, dog park with sections for big and small dogs, and a frisbee golf course. The track ties in with the one at the college to create a roughly 3.5 mile total and the parks department does a great job keeping everything clean and well maintained.
