Confirmed from Alston Ridge 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.
Park with a playground and picnic tables.
What runners say about Alston Ridge Park
“Very small neighborhood park, did have a portable potty so that was cool and the park was very clean.”
Good place for little kids, clean, limited. Have 3 swings, many picnic table and shade. Nice for a family to walk.
Very nice park for kids has a nice little track around it. I went planning on walking my baby in the stroller and was a little disappointed with how short the track was, however once I was on my way out I saw that there is a much longer track at the end of the dead end road. Now I know and will go back and walk there!
Great place for litle kids to have run and also for having a nice walk with your family enjoying the beutifull views they have.
It's a small park but decently kept up. Has a swing set, shaded bench and tables, a small walking track, parking, and some porta potties. Park is usually empty, I go there with my dog sometimes to play Pokemon Go since there is a gym and a few pokestops.
