Confirmed from Burke 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.
Family-friendly park offering a playground and a walking trail, plus an amphitheater and courts for tennis, basketball and baseball.
What runners say about Burke Park
“It was a clean safe park when we went there on a Saturday afternoon.”
“It's a nice family friendly place to go to be outside and just relax.”
For kids the park has a really nice play area. And there is a dog park. Also there is a nice walking path.
Many up grades have happened since I was younger. Brand new equipment and a great paved walking path pavilion the tennis ,skate part and dog park fenced off. So much for all ages. Clean restrooms and a picnic in the stone shelter are cool.
Nice place to let toddlers blow off steam. Only complaint would be that they fill the areas that get muddy after rain with mulch or gravel, because it’s pretty difficult, even for adults to skirt around to avoid stepping in it.
Trail conditions & character
“Small creek that runs through park they removed restrooms where they used to be and assume they've got them on other side of park?”
“Brand new equipment and a great paved walking path pavilion the tennis ,skate part and dog park fenced off.”
