Confirmed from Wilburton Park trail, Bellevue Botanical Gardens trailhead'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Lots of paths, beautiful landscape and sculptures, a spot to get something to eat and drink, and restrooms at the entrance.”

Lush and beautiful for a quaint city park! The trails are great for walking or running. The trees are tall and the vegetation lush. I wish we had parks this nice out on the East Coast.

★★★★★ — Justin , Jun 2021

Great place to visit with the family or on your own. Lots of paths, beautiful landscape and sculptures, a spot to get something to eat and drink, and restrooms at the entrance.

★★★★★ — Jess , Dec 2020

Beautiful gardens and trails are well kept. It's dry and hot this year and the foliage and trees show it.

★★★★☆ — Karen , Jul 2021

Very short trail - starts from wilburton and ends at botanical garden. Good for an evening walk.

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.
