Confirmed from Bryan 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.
Low-key neighborhood park offering playground equipment, walking paths, a gazebo & benches.
What runners say about Bryan Park
“Nice walking path, very peaceful and clean.”
“Shaded areas, lots of benches for sitting and plenty of parking!”
“There were a few groups of people but it seems like a quiet spot that may fly under the radar if you don't just happen to know it's there.”
“Located in same parking lot as the Library, this is a wonderful park for kids of all ages!”
There is a sidewalk around the perimeter of the park which is good for walking laps. They have swings for all ages, but limited playground equipment. Many small trees provide limited shaded areas.
Good for bigger kids; more of 3 years and up, or kids who have a good grasp of walking. Has swings, a climbing structure, and a small pirate ship around the walking trail.
Just stopped by for a walk and I love the signs that are posted around the paved loop! I'd love to see this park get a little face lift. The playsets are unique but goodness gracious those wooden swings are so uncomfortable!
Nice small playground that’s next to the library. Playground area could definitely use some updating, but our 5 year old had a wonderful time. We also enjoyed the winding paved walking path with our dogs. The wooden ship looked very cool, but unfortunately is under construction.
