Confirmed from Broadneck 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.
Kids-friendly area with soccer fields and baseball diamonds, plus playgrounds.
What runners say about Broadneck Park
“Plenty of room to run around, water, clean and everyone is respectful.”
“Broadneck Park is a beautiful, densely wooded space with paved trails, exercise equipment, soccer fields, an all ages playground, and pavilions”
“There is a fenced in dog park and a nice walking path the winds around a couple of baseball fields.”
Neighborhood park near Broadneck high school. There are several ballfields here, and two dog parks that were heavily trafficked the day I was there. Some nice trails, including one through the woods with some exercise stations. The playground is a favorite of the grandkids. All easily accessible to everyone.
Really nice newly renovated park, has all of the sports fields around it so if you have an active toddler or active kiddo, it’s perfect for them to be able to walk the trail around the fields.
In addition to the playing fields there is a playground, two dog.areas and a few walking/running trails. Great spot for birding, typically on week days when it is quieter. The fields with tree perimeters makes a nice mixed habitat for many song birds.
Very nice park with paved walkways around the park also two nice fenced-in areas for your dog one for large dogs and the other for the smaller dogs.
