Confirmed from Robert B Brooks 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.
Park featuring slides, swings, monkey bars, a baseball field, a softball field and a playground.
What runners say about Robert B Brooks Park
“Place is well taken care of and clean.”
“Nice park, not much parking space but the greenspace is great, no/nearly no shade though”
Nice place to stop and eat our lunch. Mowed and tidy, but not too many visitors on such a hot day. Had a nice play ground in the shade.
The newly renovated park is really great for the playground, the large green field, and a nice path around for walking.
This is a nice size park in a good neighborhood. It has swings, slides monkey bars and such, on the the other side of the creek it has a baseball field with a large grassy area for the kids to run around. This park could also use a few more things for the kids to play on.
Great park to go for a walk or take the kids to have some fun or have a picnic. Lots of different ways to enjoy the outdoors and get away from the city noise. Place is well taken care of and clean.
