Confirmed from Evelyn Hallman 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.
Waterside green space featuring walking paths along a canal and/or pond.
What runners say about Evelyn Hallman Park
“Pretty clean as well and never had an issue with any people minus those who ride motorcycles illegally down the bike trail”
“I love how quiet it is with several areas of vegetation along the waters edge to just sit and take nature into my being .”
I am here several days a week. I start on the Crosscut Canal path in Old Town Scottsdale and ride the 5+ miles to Hallman Park. With its slight elevation sunrises here are often time spectacular and are a reward for waking so early to get in my ride before the Sun hits me with the full force we see in the desert.
Great place to hang out or walk your dog. Trails and sidewalks to hike, bike, or just walk. There are a couple of ponds, both good for fishing. The canal is really close, so you can also include that in your trip. We brought a lunch and ate under the covered picnic area. Restrooms are available and clean.
Run here day and night and love it. Lots of animals and shade, and a nice way to get away from the noise. A lot of people fish here as well and theres tables to rent for parties. Pretty clean as well and never had an issue with any people minus those who ride motorcycles illegally down the bike trail
An oasis in the desert! Lovely place to take a calm and peaceful walk around the duck pond. Plenty of bird-watching to be had here. Bike trails are full of friendly and cautious bikers. For each rule the park has, there are at least two signs for it throughout the park.
