Confirmed from Big Rock Park North'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.
Grassy park with a large rock for climbing and sledding, plus zip-lining and a playground.
What runners say about Big Rock Park North
“There as ample parking, leashed pets allowed ( please clean up after your pet) and, when it snows, a safe place for children to go sledding.”
“The trails are typically really good, with lots of beautiful sights, where i live we got hit with insanely fast winds.”
Big Rock park is an excellent park to be enjoyed by children, adults, and seniors alike. The park enjoys the usual accoutrements of slides and swings but also boasts a zip line and small tunnels for children to enjoy. The park is spacious with several trails with little elevation gain and wheel chair accessible.
Don't mistake this for the Nearby Ebright Creek Park, as this is nothing like it. It has a small play structure with tons of open, hilly field just as you enter. Its definitely a great place for dogs to run around! The trails vary from short walks to proper hike depending on which path you choose.
Playground is very small but very nice kid friendly walk in the forest and as promised - a big rock!
Beautiful very well maintained park. Rolling hills, zip line, slide and a couple miles of very pleasant trails through the woods. Note that you can take a stroller through some of the trails especially the gravel road portion, but some of them are too covered in roots to be accessible for a stroller.
