Confirmed from Buffalo Grove Park District'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.
Park with a public restroom, picnic tables, playground, and gym hall, plus weekly activities.
What runners say about Buffalo Grove Park District
“The facilities are well maintained and there are a good number of affordable classes to attend.”
Loved the place. Visited twice for different events and it was a new experience everytime. Childrens park and river walk was a breeze.
Kids love it here. Friendly neighborhood, friendly kids, and a nice walk on the bike path.
