Confirmed from Cleveland 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.

👟 good for all levels 2 mentions

I don’t see anyone mentioning the trails for mountain biking. Eagle trail and another unnamed across the street from the stables at Cleveland Park,I’ll include pics. I found these after riding in Sliding Rock mountain bike park off the Swamp Rabbit Trail, another ride I would highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Francis , Dec 2025

A park has been built along the Ready River. It is a good place to go anytime in the 4 seasons. Safe, beautiful, and neat. It is good to walk along the swamp Rabbit Trail in the morning or late afternoon. With children, it would be good to use playgrounds and picnic areas located in between.

★★★★★ — Yoon , Aug 2021

A nice park with tons of playground space for children. There was a snow cone truck as well. Great parking and restroom facilities. Great walking trail that leads to Falls Park in downtown. Part of the Rabbit Swamp Trail.

★★★★★ — Jenny , Feb 2025

Great place to spend a whole day! There is the zoo, three playground (check out Brooks Playground), bathrooms, picnic areas, pickleball and tennis courts and the swamp rabbit trail! Who could ask for anything more!

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.
