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.
Park featuring a playground, walking trails, and dog-friendly areas.
What runners say about Booth Park
“Beautiful park to run in this neighborhood”
“A very small and quiet park to sit at, there is a jungle gym for the the kids to play and you can even go out for a run around the river there.”
Lovely place for a walk with a pretty lady. Just make sure you both wear shoes that can get a little muddy
Booth Park is the southernmost of the "String of Six Parks" (Kingsland, Memorial 3 2 and 1, Yanticaw, and Booth), and is probably the most scantily equipped of all. It has simply a walking path, and a minimalist playground, with fewer benches than the others.

It's a very nice local park. The leaves have turned and it looks wonderful. Offers a wonderful set of walking trails along the river.
