We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Hillcrest Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Family-friendly park featuring swings, disc golf and dog-friendly areas.
What runners say about Hillcrest Park
“Nice and clean and actually has a dog park, which is really nice for my dog after being cooped up in a small apartment”
“Beautiful hidden gem on the north side of Vincennes!”
Wonderful city park. Relaxing and clean. 2 large pavilions, public restrooms, nice playground, paved walking, lots of well-maintained open lawn. Good frisbee golf course. There is a dog park: code required for entry, code obtained by registering your pet at local animal department.
