Confirmed from Hidden Trail 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 Hidden Trail Park
“The trails are well maintained and conditions are very good to excellent for walks, except for one stretch that's very steep and makes sensible shoes mandatory.”
“Beautiful park with great new playground equipment and shade structures.”
My kids love this neighborhood park. The park is small, but enclosed, much safer for kids and usually have less than 5 people. Park offers jogging path, bike lane, basket ball area, fun play structure for 2 - 12 year old. Spacy grass area for soccer. Parking is always available!
This is about the footpaths/horse trails around the hill. The trails are well maintained and conditions are very good to excellent for walks, except for one stretch that's very steep and makes sensible shoes mandatory. There's tyre marks on the wide and flat parts. More worrying are coyote or large stray dog tracks.
Great quiet place to walk your dogs. They provide doggy bags! Nice trail, beautiful well kept grass, kids playground was super clean, a water fountain to drink from, fill your water bottles, and even super clean water bowl/ fountain for your dogs.
