Confirmed from Branch Hollow 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.
Community park featuring tennis courts, a playground, and trails, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Branch Hollow Park
“The park is very clean, the Tennis Courts is huges and it's convenient to the Carrollton Blue Trail.”
“The brief but beautiful nature trails that veer off the main paved path provided a welcome escape from the noise of the city.”
“The swings here are under the shade of various surrounding trees.”
Great park. Has a nature trail and tennis court. Tennis courts are open. Three couples can play simultaneously. Benches are aligned along the trail. I like the cleanliness of the trail/park. The one thing that causes me to pause is there a few trees. Hot days are extremely difficult due to this fact.
These trails are the BEST! A good starting point in the park and you can easily get your miles in. Don't worry about getting lost -- follow the blue trail. Relatively flat, but very little shade. Start early for the cool morning weather.
Great park! There are lots of trees for shade when it's sunny out. There isn't a public bathroom here.
Great place to walk, take the kids, play tennis, walk nature trails and enjoy!
