Confirmed from Boyce Mayview 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.
Huge local park showcasing vegetable gardens, hiking trails, fields & other features.
What runners say about Boyce Mayview Park
“Exceptionally lovely park, with well-maintained and quite fancy amenities.”
“I recently lost my daughter, so this is a beautiful place to think about her and take a break from everything.”
“I come here every week after therapy, and the trails are so quiet and peaceful.”
“They have some nice easy trails for kids to go on, just make sure you stick to the wider trails as there as some very steep thin ones that are better for adults only.”

A wonderful nature park with some pretty bold terrain and some cool destination sites. Beautiful views, nice climbs, and well maintained trails. One can easily invest 2 or more hours walking and exploring.
This place is amazing!!! I visited the park a few days ago and it was lovely. The trail paths are clear and clean. And it is lovely to see the river as well. Plus, there were so many flowers down there and many different birds, bluejays, cardinal, and many more. You have to see trees that are very large and peaceful.
We were pleased with the amount of criss crossing trails and good markings at each intersection. Initially getting there and finding parking was a bit rough (in march). We're looking forward to going back when everything is green.

“I come here every week after therapy, and the trails are so quiet and peaceful.”
