Confirmed from Eastern 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.

December 2020 upgrades made great improvements to this neighborhood park! Covered pavillion with 3 picnic tables are situated near the basketball court and between the two play structures. One side designated for toddlers/young kids also has 2 toddler swings.
Love this park...one of the few with 1/2 mile trail, open so you don't feel danger yet a little like being in the woods at points. Also in spring the wildflowers are awesome.. AND it's clean
Clean park with shade. Wish there were more swings, but other than that we killed almost 2 hours here without getting bored. Little trail and basketball court
Great park to get your walking done. It’s a small park but there is a concrete sidewalk around the whole park plus a kid’s playground.
