Confirmed from The Brickyard Trail At The Sandra Frankel Nature 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 The Brickyard Trail At The Sandra Frankel Nature Park
A very peaceful and quiet beautiful trail/park. Smells amazing during this time of the year.
Easy, flat trail. Pretty short, but can see a surprising amount of wildlife along the way. Watch out for snails on the pathway during the spring! I would advise against visiting during the summer, as it's basically a marsh and you'll get eaten alive by mosquitoes within minutes.
Nice little trail, just know that you will have to park somewhere to walk to the trailheads. Only about a 15 minute walk but nice.
Nice well tended trail. Very wide and made of stone dust. A lot of wildlife to be seen
Trail conditions & character
