Confirmed from Deis Hills 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.

Scenic

Park with a playground, disc golf course, sledding, and trails, plus a public restroom.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Beautiful park with plush green grass, very peaceful, have great views!”

Great city park, providing natural beauty. A highly rated disc golf course, swimming pool, nature trails and bike paths add to the experiences available. Dog friendly.

★★★★☆ — Keith , Aug 2018

Awesome park. They have it all here. One of the best disc golf courses I've played in ohio as well. Didn't do much else at the park but I did walk through the entire thing a few times and it was very nice.

★★★★★ — Ron , Jun 2016

A very beautiful park that I enjoy every day. Walking, bike riding, or just enjoying the beautiful scenery.

★★★★★ — David , Jul 2020

Visit everday to walk myself and dog. A beautiful well taken care of green space in Dover

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
