Confirmed from Hartung 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.
Park featuring trails, a playground, a pond, swings, picnic tables.
What runners say about Hartung Park
“The trails are nice if you wanna walk and this park is always clean.”
“We like this park because it has a fun, high quality playground and an unexpectedly beautiful hike.”
“It is very versatile, whether you want to be active, go for a peaceful walk, or hang out with friends or family.”
This is a beautiful park and a great example of urban ecology in action. From quarry to landfill to an amazing park in a small footprint, this park is truly enjoyable. We enjoy the hikes up to the top of the hill and the many ways in which you can arrive at the top.
I absolutely love this location. It’s close to my home. I love that they have a little kid and big kid play set. The trails are nice if you wanna walk and this park is always clean. The families are so nice. My daughter always says mom can we go see friends today? She loves it here as much as I do!
It is a great spot to enjoy nature. Great trails. Beautiful scenery. Nice playground for the children. A bench at the top of the hill to sit, reflect, see everything around you. Great spot for a couples walk or self care time.
This park is very clean and ideal for families. It is located in a very safe place, surrounded by a small community where a lot of people know one another. This park is perfect for walking the trails and includes a great place to relax up above the hill (large rock formation seating)!
