Confirmed from Tillie Memorial Dog 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.

No shade or trees and it was hot the day we went. you also have to sit outside the fenced area instead of inside with your dog. But it's nice to have a place to let your dog run and play.

★★★★☆ — Kimberly , Sep 2021

FENCED DOG PARK, separated area for Large and Small size dogs, gravel for parents walking surround the running area, water available during warm months, additional area in the middle, dog poop bags, trail for walking is available too. Behind BEREA CITY Municipal office.

Fun place to let your dog run and play! There's 2 areas. One for big dogs and one for small dogs. The cons are the benches and water fountain for dogs (and humans) are all outside the play areas. There is also no shade, so if it's a warm day its best to go in the evening. Our dog loves it and has made some new friends!

★★★★★ — Amanda , Sep 2021

Nice place with nice folks. Great place to let your dog run for a few and walking trails all around. Beautiful place Berea, Kentucky is folks.

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.
