Confirmed from East Bethel Booster 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.

“A well-maintained, family-friendly space that’s great for all ages!”

Two parks (east and west). The west park has a bigger playground and skate park. East has a trail measuring about 0.55mi long, good for running/walking/biking.

Beautiful park with something for everyone. There’s a scenic pond with a walkout area that’s perfect for a peaceful stroll or just relaxing by the water. The park features two separate play areas — one on the west side of the street designed for older kids, and another on the east side that's perfect for younger…

★★★★★ — Mike , Oct 2025

Beautiful large park! Well maintained with plenty of facilities available. Playground equipment, open fields, plenty of parking, and very nice ball fields. There are barbecue and pavilion areas available, along with paved walking trails. Just a great spot to go and hang out with the family.

★★★★★ — Mike , Jun 2022

Best park in town. Recently upgraded playground on Booster East. Great walking trail around the swamp / lake. .. nice mature trees. Take the back way out back into the neighborhood to catch the neighbors horses that are usually outside !

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.
