Confirmed from Nature 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.
Roomy park with a tranquil atmosphere featuring a disc golf course, running path & fishing ponds.

“Rexburg Nature Park is a beautiful and very thoughtfully designed space that truly caters to all ages.”
A great newly built park. Great for all ages. Lots of things for older kids to enjoy as well as young kids. Zipline, spinning climber, tall slides, round disk swing, regular swings, music toy equipment, all types of climbers and jungle gyms. Tennis courts are in good shape too. Lots of green grass and trees for shade..
Maybe I was just there at a patricularily enchanting time but wow. People were there enjoying the park, but no loud music, off leash dogs, or speeding cyclists to avoid. The atmosphere was completely calm and pleasant. The nature walks weren't manicured- real nature, but not vast. Very walkable, smooth trails.
We loved the zip line and the walking paths around the ponds. It was beautiful with the fall leaves changing.
This is such a great town amenity, a hidden treasure we didn't know about until three years of living in Rexburg. This well kept park includes a skate park, soccer fields, a playground, tennis/pickle ball courts, fishing areas, ultimate Frisbee course, and several pavilions with grills and benched tables all…
