Confirmed from Brown Family 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 an open field, a walking trail, and a playground with tire hammock swings.
What runners say about Brown Family Park
“It's quiet, peaceful just what my dad wanted.”
Great place to hang out and walk around. Not as crowded as downtown Summerville and the area is an up-and-coming development with many more stores and restaurants soon to come. Would recommend this area to casually have out of you're tired of downtown Summerville.
It is absolutely beautiful there and an excellent place to have a party or just walk around
Came here for the tire swings. Not disappointed. It is a cute little park, with a small walking trail. Not much else but it's nice for what it is
Loved discovering this little park with my family. The girls loved the tire hammock swings. I liked walking the trail and like the open field to lay out. Good open space to do yoga and work out!
