Confirmed from Bruton 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.
Kid-friendly park for kids featuring a pavilion and playgrounds, plus trails for hiking and jogging.
What runners say about Bruton Park
“Pretty well maintained, only wished there were more playground pieces for the kids to play/ride on.”
“I always bring my grand kids here,, this is such a nice little park to bring the kids/grand kids to or even to get in a scenic walk, or get a work out done.”
One of my favorite weekday walking trails! It's a great, long, paved, wide trail, but a bridge, on the North side, is out. The trail stretches, under Bruton/Cartwright, to a small park, on the South side. The smaller park has separate parking and a playground. There is a great restroom facility!!!!
Our first time here was a great one. We didn't walk the whole trail because according to someone else it leads to another park but what we did walk was very peaceful and covered by trees. Hope to come back one day to enjoy more of it.
This place is really beautiful there's always parking and restrooms available I like to walk the trail a couple times and clear my mind 💨💨💨
Quite decent. You can walk your dog here, play soccer (it has some soccer goal posts), you can just park and hang out with friends and loved ones, you can walk here, run. Like Jack of all trades with good views. Only thing is it's close to the road so there's a little traffic noise. But in all its awesome place to be!
