Confirmed from Bright 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.
Park with a playground, picnic tables, fishing pond, walking path, pavilion, and arboretum.

“Solid arboretum park with gorgeous trees, a clean air conditioned public restroom, and relatively quiet.”
“Peaceful and safe nature trail for family to go for a walk ,run, and or let your kids play in the playground area or ride their bike beside you as you go.”
It's a beautiful, peaceful place to take my daily walks. Citizens need to stock this lending library they've got here. The books that are in there and warped and falling apart.
Nice, quiet place with half mile walking trail with pond. You can see geese, ducks, hawks, etc. It's surrounded by the elementary school and 2 subdivisions. There is a place on the back side to park your bike. Only one porta potty on the parking area near the school.
It was a great walk, sunny with a breeze, birds chirping, ducks and geese about. I like the improvements they made to the park since I was last there, the repairs look good.
This is a small park hidden well in the community. It has a pond with ducks and geese to feed. There is a pavilion as well as a walking track. There is exercise equipment about and there is a playground with swings for the kids. Such a nice quiet place to go for a jog. It closes at midnight. No glass allowed in park.
