Confirmed from Brickyard Nature 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.
What runners say about Brickyard Nature Park
Fantastic new park with lots of trails. It’s a good place to be quiet. It’s perfect for trail running and mountain biking in particular. It’s the largest nature park within city limits.
Very nice little park with easy walking trails. It has separate bike trails and a bike repair station.
Good little short mountain bike trail, first time here, seems to be directional trails, I did not realize that at first as I was just following the flow of the trail.
Nice place for a small quiet walk. We took the paved trail because we had a stroller. Definitely going to go back to try the pedestrian trail and maybe even the bike trail. It would be a great place to take a dog too
