Confirmed from Holmesbrook 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.
Paved path in a 60-acre park featuring trails and a creek.
What runners say about Holmesbrook Park
“But a beautiful trail that leads through a wooded ravine, back to a pond and along a lovely rippling creek .”
Beautiful walk, we went in the winter when it was frigid and icy and the trees were bare. I loved it. The water is so perfect (and there is a treasure trove of rocks to skip).
This is a great little walking path near our home. If you go on the trails, I'd recommend wearing actual hiking boots, because there are small streams and it can be a little muddy in some areas.
Nice park, easy trail for a quick walk. Abundant birds for the bird watchers.
Great trail: Eagle trail was built by local boy scouts. The trail does need some severe maintenance, mostly a wooden bridge that is falling apart. Many trail areas are washed away or need heavy clearing, especially on the hills.
Trail conditions & character
“Many trail areas are washed away or need heavy clearing, especially on the hills.”
“The hill nearest the retention pond has a spring that flows over the paved path, making for some interesting colors and algae growth, slippery when wet.”

“But a beautiful trail that leads through a wooded ravine, back to a pond and along a lovely rippling creek .”
“Nice shading, access to streams for kids and dogs to splash in.”
“Animals are welcome, no Porta potties at holmesbrook Park but there are some at freidt Park, which would be about 1/2 mile walk up the hill trail heading north west.”
