Confirmed from Brand 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.

Very beautiful park. It is 31 acre park. You can find playgrounds, a library, the doctors house museum, Japanese tea garden, and some really great hiking trails with beautiful views. You can BBQ there and they have basketball courts as well. They have picnic tables to sit at as well. I enjoyed my visit.

A nice quite park in a beautiful area. It holds a special place for me and my family. Inside the park is a house called the doctors house it is a historic landmark. My family owned this house for about 60 years before it was moved it into the park. A beautiful park for a picnic and a walk around the area

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.
