We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Sims Bayou Greenway yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 with a trail that's good for kids.
What runners say about Sims Bayou Greenway
“I love riding my bike though park in The morning because it's very beautiful Peaceful .”
“Great trail for bike riding and perfect peaceful nature surrounding the entire trail right along the water way”
Beautiful water and nice trail. No parking place at this end of the trail. I parked at the other end (the Greenbrook park) and walked here. About 40 minutes for a round trip (normal walking speed).
I use to love this park back when it was a raggedy trail. Now it is so much better and really perfect to get this community fit and healthy.
I generally go to have a walk with God. It's naturally nourishing. A unique essence of being alone with the Father of all on Father's Day ❤️❤️
