We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Greenway Trail North Hills yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Greenway Trail North Hills
“The painted butterflies on the septic clean-outs was a brilliant idea that needs to be extended to the whole system!”
“Well maintained greenway, beautiful scenery.”
This is a fantastic stretch of greenway towards Shelley Lake. The painted butterflies on the septic clean-outs was a brilliant idea that needs to be extended to the whole system! The rough sections before Shelley will soon be remade to be safer which will make this even better.
Great place for walking, skating, roller blading, and cycling. The trails have almost no grade making them ideal for roller blades.
The Greenway is excellent for exercising, commuting, and spending time in nature.
Good place to go and walk alone with your thoughts .not much of a people person.
