Confirmed from Browning 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.

“nice little park to walk to with your whiteys ice cream, always very clean except bathrooms, benches, pavilion & playground.”

Nice little park area for the kids to play on and a big open field as well for the kids to run around on and play any kind of sport! I like how the track is open to the public for walkers or runners! Logan school holds their end of the year thing here every year and it accommodates all the needs!

★★★★★ — Matt , Aug 2017

The park itself is very nice and well-maintained. There are some open spaces for kids to run around, as well as the playground equipment. The field has been around for years and is a staple of Moline. You can hear the games on Friday nights in all the surrounding neighborhoods. The sounds of the band and the cheering.

★★★★☆ — Curtis , Oct 2017

Fun park but doesn't have fence so the children don't run into the street :/

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
