Confirmed from Altamont 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.
Kid-friendly green space equipped with swings and slides for children.
What runners say about Altamont Park
“It's well maintained spacious open areas a drinking fountain large and small play structures and a walking path all the way around.”
“Beautiful park for the kids to play; open grass area for picnic and our valley ball, as I've seen a few times before.”
This hidden gem is my favorite park to take my two boys too. It's well maintained spacious open areas a drinking fountain large and small play structures and a walking path all the way around. All laid out in a neat little circle on the top of a hill over looking the city. Perfect for sunset/ sunrise.
Sunny park, on top of a hill. Two sets of park equipment for different ages. I wish there was better parking.
This park was gorgeous and so fun! You can see downtown and mountains from up there, pretty cool. And quite warm on a sunny day. The path was a tad mushy to walk there, but it's definitely a place I will be visiting again.
Amazing hidden gem. It has gated around it but it is open to the public. It has 2 play structures and swings. Good for ages 2 to 9. Large grassy area with a paved path around it.
