Confirmed from Brighton 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 featuring slides, swings and covered picnic areas.
What runners say about Brighton Park
“The park is always clean and due to the virous there was nobody there .”
“Has a great, elaborate playground with three levels for all ages.”
Awesome park for kids. The newly renovated park is a great mix of climbing, swinging, sliding, and running. There's so much to do here so plan to stay a while. The farm theme is a great touch and a perfect way to get kids learning while they have fun. Will definitely make this a regular stop.
Love this place! Lots of open space and parking. Nice trail to walk on. It could use more trees for shade My kids love the farm animals and all the different sized slides. Great sheds for parties and the bathrooms are clean!
This place had been around for years.. they have two beautiful playgrounds at this location. Where kids of all ages can come and play. There's public restrooms. Locations to Barbeque and set up for celebrations. There's a large open greased area to play soccer and just run around and have fun.
