Confirmed from Hart's Hill Park - Round Lake Area Park District'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.
Park where visitors can pursue activities such as sledding, running, and walking.

Great place to take the family sledding. Bonus... It's free! Several hill sizes, ample parking, easy access and a good night's sleep afterwards 😂.
Dope sledding at this park! Many hills of all sizes for all ages/skill levels.
Great place to run. Hills will challenge you, but they are not monotonous.
