Confirmed from Burgess 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.

It's a great big stretched out property that is lovely to walk during the off days with the pup. It's got plenty of trees. It's usually fairly clean. Lots of things to do. Play grounds, fields to hit a few rounds and pathways to stretch your legs. Very pretty scenery.

★★★★☆ — Acacia , Jun 2024

Lovely green space with a trail, stream, sports fields, tennis and pickleball, playgrounds, and the most spectacular mountains on three sides.

★★★★★ — Bill , Aug 2025

Great neighborhood park with some really nice walking trails. We were there for rugby and the fields and facilities were great.

★★★★★ — Chris , Oct 2025

It was a very well kept park. Great for baseball, jogging, biking and dog walking. Lots of shade and a cute little stream

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.

🚻 Restrooms 6 mentions

“Two tennis courts, four pickleball, two basketball hoops, football field, two playgrounds, sand volleyball, baseball diamonds, seasonal restrooms, and a pavilion.”
