Confirmed from Tellbrook 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (81 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🌳 shaded & cool 4 mentions

“Such a special, little, sanctuary to relax under the big shade trees, close your eyes & fully take in the "music" of the multiple birds.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Its a very secluded and peaceful park with a little playground, picnic area and even a little exercise trail.”

Small park south of Las Cruces. Tucked away and not easy to find. Sidewalk makes it easy to walk through the park. Doesn't seem to be very frequently used. View of Organ mountains. Benches and picnic tables. Small play area. There was exercise equipment but it has been vandalized.

★★★★☆ — Carol , Jan 2022

Its a very secluded and peaceful park with a little playground, picnic area and even a little exercise trail. Nature is all around and you can see small animals such as bunnies, Quails etc. Not to mention the view of the mountains. This is a very tranquil space.

★★★★★ — Sam , Jan 2018

Nice quite. Lots of room to run around.. nice shade.. bring lots of water. Basketball courts swings.. small "work out" trail

★★★★★ — Cydia , Jul 2024

Very nice family park. Went in the early evening with my wife for a makeshift picnic. Met some very nice young couples that had their children out on the paved walking paths. Just a nice mellow place.

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.

🚰 Water fountains

“This seems to be an old park, seeing as the water fountain with Rusty and didn't work, but this was actually a gem of a park, as I never knew it was here!”
