Confirmed from Brickyards 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.
Family-friendly park featuring slides, swings and soccer fields.

“Lots of options for all ages, including a cute toddler playground, but also a complicated climbing area for older kids.”
Wonderful park! Lots of options for all ages, including a cute toddler playground, but also a complicated climbing area for older kids. Mix of wood chips and cushioned ground. Lots of tree shade and hills to run on. Large free parking lot. Free, clean public restrooms. Shaded picnic area.
This is a wonderful park. Clean. Open. The play equipment was well kept. Bathrooms located near by the play area. There are benches and areas of shade as well.
I love this park. its great for sledding in the winter and playing on the slightly different playground in the summer. A great spot for fireworks on the 4th of July. Also has a nice running path and is walkable to Whole Foods for an impromptu picnic.
Amazing park! Cool musical section, carousel swing, climbing bridge, tot area, and big kid area. Plenty of shade along the edges of the park. Bonus that you can see trains going by in the distance, if your kid likes that. 😊
