Confirmed from Brobst 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.
Small park featuring shaded benches, ball fields and playgrounds.
What runners say about Brobst Park
“Grass gets muddy with lots of rain but enough mulch where playground is to keep shoes clean.”
“The only thing that could improve this park would be a few shaded areas for the elderly & disabled to watch sporting events though I realize this would be a bit of a challenge.”
Very nice park! It has a football field, baseball diamond, 2 basketball courts, playground, shelter houses, paved walking path, a large open field, plenty of parking and restrooms.
The park is clean well kept nice playground on one side with ample parking the other side has fairly nice restrooms for a public park with running water and properly stocked with paper products as well as touch less sink activation. There's also a nice building used as a concession stand during football games.
Great at the sphere, with shade, with seats and place to grill. You need your own grill, by the way, but definitely very nice park. You can play any type of sports. And great for kids, playing at the park and swinging
Nice size playground with small trails, baseball field, separate basketball courts for adults and little ones, and football field. Has shelter houses and a restroom area. Kids had fun even the dog!
