Confirmed from Brookdale 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.
What runners say about Brookdale Park
I wish there were more trees here but at least there are a couple benches for people to sit down at to take a rest as they're walking along McKinley Parkway. This park is a good shortcut to the other side of this neighborhood. Plus it's a pokestop
Took a walk with grandkids along McKinley..Memas knees needed a rest..so peaceful & perfect for little ones to chill out..
Love bringing my daughters and dog to just run around and get their energy out
