Confirmed from Bordwell 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.
Green neighborhood park with baseball fields, a basketball court and a playground.
What runners say about Bordwell Park
“The restrooms are clean, though I do wish they supplied hand soap and that the hand dryer worked.”
“Just wanted to bring this beautiful park some added greenery and give back to my community”
“Only issue is that the playground is directly under the sun no shade at all for kids at play.”
“It's peaceful and quiet and I feel completely safe and so does my cat who enjoys walking in the well manicured grounds.”
Large park with basketball court clean picnic areas , quite park Has area to practice 6 foot wall jumps on chain link and concrete wall for law enforcement training as well as exercise equipment throughout the park with a 1/2 mile walking path
Great place to come and do a picnic. Very quiet and peaceful. Enough room to walk and explore the park and also a great basketball court for those who want to play to enjoy and use. A very helpful center that they have included in the park. With workers that are at your dispense. And others.
It's my refuge from the chaotic noise of everything going on. It's peaceful and quiet and I feel completely safe and so does my cat who enjoys walking in the well manicured grounds. The restrooms are clean, though I do wish they supplied hand soap and that the hand dryer worked.
Keep nice, several different areas to accommodate multiple groups of people without crowding. And scenic.
