Confirmed from Brushy Creek Trail East'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.
Public park featuring trails, picnic tables, and a playground, plus a walking path along a creek.

“When we parked, we parked by all abilities park play ground.”
A nice trail with about 20% shade. It is paved and wide enough to walk beside someone with a bike passing. Cyclists and runners were polite. Dog owners kept them leashed and seemed to pick up after them. Easy parking beside the Play for All Abilities Park. Interesting enough terrain to warrant repeat trips.

Wonderful place for a walk. Peaceful and beautiful. We DID see a lady almost lose her dog to a coyote at like...2 in the afternoon so probably be on the lookout for that
Nice long wide paved path that meanders along Brushy Creek. Relaxing views and a chance to see some wildlife. Some sections are secluded, others back up to apartments and businesses. The path goes from Georgetown St. to Kalahari.
