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.

“Place is well taken care of and clean.”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“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.

★★★★☆ — Kelly , Jul 2022

The newly renovated park is really great for the playground, the large green field, and a nice path around for walking.

★★★★★ — Taylor , Apr 2024

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.

★★★★☆ — Juan , Oct 2016

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.

★★★★★ — Crystal , Dec 2018

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.
