Confirmed from Diggins Hill 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.
Outdoor recreation spot with facilities for tennis, disc golf, sledding, and pickleball, plus a grill.
What runners say about Diggins Hill Community Park
“Great view of the town at night.”
Great disc golf.. they have groomed trails.. half way into course there is a hang out area with tables a roof grills parking and a tennis court... Even in winter diggins hill is great for sledding
Used to live in a house at the top of this hill while growing up. Great place to sled in winter. Great view of the town at night. Tonight I brought my youngest, 18, to the top so we could watch the perseid meteor showers. It was a decent viewing.
I like playing Diggins. It needs a thorough cleaning though. The fact this is a popular sledding hill in the winter makes it dumpy in the summer. The 18 hole course is fun and challenging though.
Good city winter sledding on the hill at the west side of the park off of River Street. From the top of the hill it's about a 100 ft drop over 200 yards. Most people only do the lower half of the hill.
