We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Brady Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Great location and very well kept.”

We love visiting Brady dog park and our Nova does too! She loves coming over here, running around and making new friends. It's nice and spacious and there are 2 different sides, one for big dogs and a side for little dogs.

Brady Bark Park is a great place to bring your dogs for some fun! They have huge expanses fenced in so you can play fetch or just let them get their run out! They have separate sides for small dogs and big dogs. There is also a baseball field in the same park.

There are trails behind the dog park. Finally, found them. Really nice walk. A Frisbee Frisbee golf course goes through them.

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.
