Confirmed from Granite 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.
Quiet neighborhood park with a kids' playground and mountain trails.

Fun playground. Walking paths that are paved that also connect to dirt paths in Dimple Dell. Beautiful views. Pavilion bathrooms. Park benches. Shade. Large parking lots and room for many people. Beautiful views of little cottonwood canyon
This park is in a lovely area, walking distance from dimple dell. We enjoy having a picnic and walking around. They do have a playground for kids as well.
