I hiked through and around Braeburn Glen Park as part of my Brays Bayou Hike - Western Section. You can read my log of that park here. This park was near the west terminus of the trail.

Braeburn Glen Park is a medium-sized community park that has tennis courts, volleyball courts, a playground for kids, and other picnic/bbq amenities.

The trail is a dirt/gravel trail that winds around the park for about a 1/4 mile.
