Confirmed from Booth 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.

“It has a large modern structure that is safe for kids of all ages and a fun AstroTurf hill that can is perfect for sledding.”

It’s not the biggest park, however it’s a nexus for so many cool things. In the winter it’s a decent sledding hill, throughout the summer it host many activities including movie nights, a starting point for a nice urban escape trail, and a play structure that kids of all ages love.

This place is pretty cool I went there tonight and it's funny that the kids I'll go down the hill with cardboard even though it tells them not to my kids had fun and there was a cool water feature in the middle just a mister but it was still pretty cool

★★★★★ — Kristopher , Apr 2025

Its a beautiful place for joggers, take a walk by the side of a river creak, beautiful tall oak n other trees, now the winter has stepped in with tree's leaves turned bright yellow, red .

★★★★☆ — Uma , Nov 2018

Visit the Booth park for a pleasant walk by the small river cream, take your children for swings n slides at the play area or just relax sit n watch people n children enjoying the cool breeze ,the colourful foliage welcomes you along the walking track..enchants you with red, yellow n green leaves spread allover.

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.

⛰️ Hills / elevation 14 mentions

“She had just as much fun climbing the hills/landscaping as with using the actual play structure (and the tower and wooden look of it make it pretty cool in my book).”
