Confirmed from Bourgeois 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.

What runners say about Bourgeois Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (28 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice park near to University of Louisiana at Lafayette. This place also close to bourgeois hall where is the ULL recreational center. This place is mainly for ULL students, faculties, or the persons who related with ULL. Great place for walking and running. There are busket ball place and field for playing soccer..

★★★★★ — Md. , Jul 2021

Very relaxing park with much space to run around and walk around the mile pathway. There are also basketball courts and some pull up bars. One of my favorite places to go and enjoy nature near campus.

★★★★★ — Kurt , Jul 2022

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.
