Confirmed from Brys 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (640 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 6 mentions

“The pads are cement and are in great condition and the greens are nicely kept up.”

You need to sign up first and have shot records etc.lots of room for dogs to run. Always other dogs there in case you want your dog to socialize. There is a disc golf spot and a baseball diamond in same area.

★★★★★ — Mark , May 2023

This park is a mixture of dog park on one side and a measured trail for walking on the other side. I like it because it's along the freeway and that means you always have a breeze and they put slight inclines thru out the trail. Not hills just inclines. They also installed disc golf there.

★★★★★ — Izella , Mar 2021

It's well kept and has a dog park too! A couple of baseball fields, enough room for soccer. Long trail around the entire perimeter. The trails are cracked and they took out the swings, but I'm pretty sure I read there are renovations coming. The disc golf course is a nice addition.

★★★★☆ — Tony , Jul 2021

Nice easy 24 hole course. It was cool that it played from the walking trails too. Everyone was very friendly and had respect going both ways with the walkers waiting for people to throw or people throwing waiting so everyone walking was out of harms way.

★★★★★ — Joel , Oct 2019

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.

“On the downside the placement of markers is confusing and no points were given for each hole so I assume no score keeping, and some pads have no markers at all.”
