Confirmed from Sertoma 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.
Large riverside park with playgrounds, walking trails, sand volleyball, horseshoes & public art.
What runners say about Sertoma Park
“This is a such a beautiful, well-kept park!”
“Seen some beautiful deer cross from the neighborhoods to the park then a block or so down back into the neighborhood.”
“It’s so beautiful and serene and despite being full of people, it wasn’t crowded at all!”
This is a such a beautiful, well-kept park! I love the walking loop and, even more so, the interpretive trail. I love the trees and the shade and the lawns. It’s so beautiful and serene and despite being full of people, it wasn’t crowded at all!
One of my favorite city parks from my travels. Nice paved trails that are peaceful to take a stroll in. There’s also an amusement park and zoo in this complex.
Beautiful park with plenty of space to walk and playgrounds for kids. Bathrooms were a no-go when we visited and only port-a-potties were available.
My favorite park in Bismarck! It's got a great trail that follows the Missouri River. It's perfect for riding a bike, rollerblading, or just walking. There's even a bike share, where you can rent classic pedal bikes or e-bikes! Sand volleyball is always fun here.
