Confirmed from Aldrich 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.
Shady green space with playground equipment and grassy slope for running and picnicking.
What runners say about Aldrich Park
“Clean, safe, and overall had a great time exploring the area.”
“Very nice big trees lots of shade we were actually at a yard sale across the street from it”
“I can always count on it to be quiet and calm, with not a lot of kids around, so my little one can play freely without bullies💜”
So much lovely shade. There are supposed to be leash rules here but no one seems to follow em
Playground equipment is open again! NO restrooms at this park, but plenty of room for kids and dogs to run. Please bag after your pets! Also great for a multitude of photos in any season.
Nice Park towards the top of "the North Hill" in Pendleton. Playground equipment and space to run around. Nice trees. Nice view of the blue mountains from the top the park.
No bathrooms, but great park for a hot day with lots of shade. One child structure, and a couple of seating areas in a small valley at the top of the hill.
