Confirmed from Burr Ponds 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.

“Quiet and nice place to be.”

This park will always have a special place in my heart, it was the first place I met my love. It is a great place to walk, enjoy your lunch, and see all the cute ducks!!

★★★★★ — Whitney , Jan 2019

Nice small park with ponds, you are allowed to catch & release, I also enjoy the paved trail around the ponds - good way to get some walking in while you're there!

★★★★★ — Rachel , Sep 2018

I do like the work they did to the pond in the past years but I really miss taking my kids to feed the ducks. Really only worth it to fish now. There is a sidewalk around the whole thing allowing a place to walk but it is all direct sun and not very large.

★★★★☆ — Aint_Ur_Bizniz , May 2024

Trails going around the ponds. Pavillion with picnic tables. You can fish the pond but you can not keep the fish. There are geese and plenty of grassy area to sit on a blanket and read our have picnics. Quiet and nice place to be.

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.

“If there is a place for reflecting on the days events, or just a walk with the dog, and your significant other, burr is the place you want to go.”
