Confirmed from Eberwein 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.

PavedOpen 24hShadedDog-friendly

Popular dog park featuring separate sections for small and large dogs, plus water features and plenty of shade, as well as a pond and shuffleboard courts.

What runners say about Eberwein Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (92 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“Very big nice and clean with poop bags provided waterfall and only about $30 a year can't beat it!”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“We went in the morning and the large nearby trees offered plenty of shade.”

🐕 dog-walking favorite 3 mentions

“There is a small dog area for under 20lbs and a larger area where all dogs are welcome.”

The walking path in this park is quite nice even in oppressive heat and the park has several elements of interest - pond, prairie, community garden. While I was walking today, I spotted a turtle sunning itself in the grass and a deer grazing, completely unconcerned with my presence as usual.

★★★★★ — Debra , Jun 2025

This has a great dog park but you have to pay per dog to use and it's not cheap. I've lived in other cities that provided a comparable experience and which was solely funded with taxes.

★★★★☆ — Mcleod , Jul 2021

My wife and I went to Eberwein Park recently to play shuffleboard. They have 2 courts there. We went in the morning and the large nearby trees offered plenty of shade. One of the courts had just been redone. I imagine the next time we visit Eberwein the other one will be freshened up as well.

★★★★★ — Smcsmc , Apr 2024

A long concrete walking path that goes around the outside of the grass area and dog park. No play equipment for kids. Has a community garden that can be rented and a small and large dog park that has a membership to get in.

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.
