Confirmed from Burholme 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.
85-acre park with wooded areas & spaces for baseball, football & soccer, plus a driving range.

Burholme Park is a great location to spend time if you like nature or being outside. It has a lot to offer, including picnic tables, benches, ball fields, a playground and more. It’s a great place for a walk or other types of exercise. There is parking in and around the park. It’s usually clean.
Love to bring my kids here & watch the sunset go down. Plus my girl's like this park bc normally not alot of people or teenagers hanging out. They have obstacle courses for all ages, benches to sit down & have something to eat. Sometimes you may see a bunch of deers running around too which is cool.
74° and a Gr8 day for a bike ride. Quick stop at Picnic area 1 after a 5 mile ride, then off we go for the next 5 miles.
Trail conditions & character
“There are ball fields, soccer fields and a playground on top of the hill with restrooms/porta potty.”
