Confirmed from Robert Bernas 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.
What runners say about Robert Bernas Park
“A beautiful little park preserving wetlands and a great playground for kids.”
Really nice park with a small but pleasant half mile walking path through and around the park. Also has a pavilion with four picnic tables.
This magical wetland park may be one of the best kept secrets in Westmont. It has the feel of a neighborhood park but is also just large enough and wild enough to feel like an escape from the suburbs.
