Confirmed from Greenbelt 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.

“Greenbelt Park ( 4 stars due to sand ) - Fun park with swings - big shelter with restrooms - next to the bike trail - lots of shade and parking”
“Quiet and lovely place to walk or ride in the late afternoon.”
This Park and Path is Amazing. The River walk is home to some gorgeous deer which I photographed. Also, the beavers are quite active as seen in my photos. They have a nice dam in process.
Cute, small. Bike trail access and parking lot. Playground. Large shady shelter with BBQ grills.

Calm little park with nice trails. Bathroom was cleaner than most park bathrooms I've seen in Iowa and surrounding areas.
