Confirmed from Harrison Ridge 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.
Public park with a playground, tennis and basketball courts, and Tipton Lakes.
What runners say about Harrison Ridge Park
“Clean, colorful park with small area for little kids and lots of climbing for older kids.”
We love this park! Always clean, fun playground equipment for my toddler. Also nice to go take a walk around Tipton lakes, the area feels very safe.
Small park. Typically less crowded. 5 swings. Small slides for babies/toddlers. Various advanced level climbers (kids really need to be good at climbing to use these). Can take walk around park using walkway.
Great place to play tennis, basketball, take a walk, or sit at the park with the small ones. Bigfoot on the loose as well...
