Confirmed from Coleman Hill 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 featuring concrete slides for adults and children, plus views of downtown.
What runners say about Coleman Hill Park
“During spring when the cherry blossoms are blooming this park is the most beautiful spot in Macon.”
“I highly recommend it whether you want some peace and quiet or casual exercise.”
Great views from the hill! Don't miss the Hay House and St. Joseph Church as well, such gems!
I went to Coleman Hill Park for the first time as a small business owner/ henna artist/designer & entrepreneur @prachihennaart And it was for a press conference for Macon's greatest Main Street in America award ceremony. I had a blast. It's a great Park. It's definitely a workout though.
Coleman Hill is picturesque and a challenging walkabout with many sets of steps and trails. My fiance picked a beautiful weather day for us to walk for about two hours. This wound up being the prelude to a marvelous dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse.
It's a nice place to sit and have a picnic or a causal peacefully date in the early or late hours of the day. Beautiful view of the whole city. For workout enthsiasit run up the hill. It'll get you in shape that's for sure.
Trail conditions & character
“The open space makes for wonderful views of downtown Macon's skyline and has always been a favorite of mine for viewing the city.”
“We enjoyed the Second Sunday concert and Flow Arts Jam with Strange Bedfellows on Fire at Coleman Hill this past Sunday after the Ocmulgee Indigenous Celebration!”
“My kids really enjoy the concrete slide on the cardboard boxes.”
“I highly recommend it whether you want some peace and quiet or casual exercise.”
“I wish we could look up and stargaze, too, but light pollution won't let the night sky fully shine.”
