Confirmed from Canyon Hills Community 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.
18-acre park featuring a splash pad, baseball fields, soccer pitch & basketball courts.
What runners say about Canyon Hills Community Park
“It’s super clean and peaceful—perfect for dog walks and enjoying the views.”
“Pack for a beautiful picnic!”
“Recently, more shaded picnic areas were added, making it even more comfortable for gatherings.”
Best all around park around! Clean and fun for everyone. The soccer fields have great grass on them and football field looks great. The splash pad is great for younger kids and the dog parks make it nice to see all the different types of dogs that are walking along the trail.
Pack for a beautiful picnic! This park has got beautiful mountains all over! A huge splash pad for the kids, tons of room to run around and a beautiful apparatus! My kids and I enjoy it so much such a blessing for our community!
This is a cool park and it’s right next to some very cool hiking... lots of room and it has a dog run/park attached. Families playing and plenty of baseball diamonds.... good for picnics and just about anything else...
I love this park! It’s super clean and peaceful—perfect for dog walks and enjoying the views. A great spot to relax and get some fresh air.

“Recently, more shaded picnic areas were added, making it even more comfortable for gatherings.”
“I would say the only setback would be that they would need more restrooms and more gazebos near that same area since that's where most people would want to be.”
