Confirmed from Brent Hassert 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.
Open space offering a picnic pavilion, soccer field, playground, splash pad & trails on 77 acres.
What runners say about Brent Hassert Park
“There's clean bathrooms, a picnic area, a smaller park for toddlers.”
Super fun park! The playground area has new flooring, looks like fake grass and very soft for the kiddos. Big upgrade from the old torn up foam floor. The soccer fields and baseball diamonds are well kept. The whole area is very clean with walking trails.
It was tons of fun! My 4 and 5 year old had a blast! The splash pad is SO Fun! There's clean bathrooms, a picnic area, a smaller park for toddlers. There's baseball fields, and I spotted a bike path!
Trail conditions & character
“We enjoyed approximately two hours at the park, which included access to restroom facilities.”
“It's easy to bouncy around and the fence next to the parking lot helps if your kid is a runner like mine.”
