Confirmed from Faulkland 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.

“5 miles but it was beautiful, clean and had several benches.”

🌳 shaded & cool 5 mentions

“The trail is exactly 1/2 a mile around and it's a great place to take my little pup 🐶 for a nice shady walk on hott days with all the large oak trees 🌳.”

I just love this little neighborhood park. All the people are social and friendly. The trail is exactly 1/2 a mile around and it's a great place to take my little pup 🐶 for a nice shady walk on hott days with all the large oak trees 🌳. We visit about once a week and really enjoy ourselves.

★★★★★ — Melody , May 2022

Nice park. Newer playground... only 3 months or so, new canopy over the picnic tables. No power or water nearby, and no restrooms is the only drawback. It is reservable thru Bellevue Parks office. Has a half mile walking track around the park and is close to bike trails.

★★★★☆ — Matt , May 2023

Was hoping the trail would be longer than .5 miles but it was beautiful, clean and had several benches. There was also a playground that seemed pretty developed in the center. Maybe about 10 parking spots. Good place to walk dogs.

★★★★☆ — River , Apr 2019

Great open green space with plenty of large trees for shade. Has a nice track surround the perimeter for walking/jogging. Has a good kids playground and gazebo but the playground could use some updating. Edit 5/2023: the revamped playground makes this park even nicer.

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.
