Confirmed from Bud Kelley "Kelleytown" 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.

🌳 shaded & cool 5 mentions

“A sitting shaded area is available for the parents to just watch, sit and relax if that's what they choose to do.”

I love this park! We came for a birthday party in the pavilion. The kids had a blast playing on the playground. There is a beautiful walking trail here just beyond the playground too.

★★★★★ — Kara , May 2023

I absolutely love this park. My children love the playground. The trail needs to be mowed. However, it is still a nice walking trail.

★★★★★ — K , Aug 2024

Very nice. Loved the trails and looked like it's maintained well...even clean restrooms. My pup and I did 4.5 miles out there.

★★★★★ — Michelle , Apr 2024

If you're looking for a place for the kids, take a walk or just relax this is a nice quaint spot. It's like a hidden jewel tucked within a quiet residential area. The restrooms are clean and this place is rarely crowded or congested.

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.

🌳 Shaded / tree cover 7 mentions
