Confirmed from South Broadway 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.

Peaceful park with trails, plus a playground and a dam.

What runners say about South Broadway Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (88 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Beautiful park along the Fox River with easy access to the river and Fox River Trail. There's numerous parking lots with easy in/out access.

★★★★★ — Jeremy , Oct 2025

Extremely peaceful. They water alone is musical. I love that we have so many parks with water to drown our thoughts & pain. Absolutely a wonderful place to walk yoga fish or sit on the rocks & have a small snack with a loved one. 🖤
