Confirmed from Flat Top 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.
Community park featuring a playground, a gazebo and a basketball court.
What runners say about Flat Top Park
“Kids love the playground at this park, I appreciate how clean and well maintained the city keeps it.”
Not much more you can ask for from a park. Usavle barbeque stands out (NOT reccomended) and a nice playground. This play ground has swings, monkey bars, and a miniature castle-type area. This place is also conviently by Flat Top Hill, a lovely place to hike.
This park is very close to our home and i believe its a 15 - 20 minute walk starting from the west richland library and then walking all the way to flat top hill park, (but i walk with my 2 daughters whos ages are 3 year old and 6 years old and its never packed with tons of people.
Love this park. It has a nice gazeebo with a mini kitchen in it. Has play equipment for the kids and lots of open spaces for events. It also happens to be right next to a hill you may climb for exercise.
Love this place my 4 dogs run back and forth with me a lot. They Love it here. So do I Green and clean. On the water faucet they have one for the dogs so cool.
