Confirmed from Hawk View 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.
What runners say about Hawk View Park
“Green grassy Hill and some good shade trees.”
This definitely hits our top neighborhood parks list! I know what you’re thinking…It’s just a normal playground…The reason it ranks so high for us is because of the amazing butterfly garden that was added just this last year. We spotted SO many caterpillars (too many to count) and numerous butterflies!
Small, quaint park with small jungle gym and big grassy area for kids to run. Safe neighborhood.
Trail conditions & character
“Lovely park and amazing views, but no restroom, so plan accordingly.”
