Confirmed from Dry Mountain 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.
What runners say about Dry Mountain Park
My kids really like this park! It has great slides for smaller children, some fun areas to climb up on and lots of space to run around. During the summer in the mornings there is some nice shade too! The only downside is they don't have any baby swings.
If you're looking to hang out on a playground or just walk around there's plenty of trails made from the city that are really fun that follow streams go through wooded areas go under some streets it's just a really fun place to go with a young one
The playground was good; it had a good collection of slides, including a "super fast"slide (according to my kid). There's a large grassy area and a big pavilion. A nice walking path connects to the park as well.
New wood chips were added in the playground area this spring! The park is well maintained and had a nice trail that leads to a river and other parks.
