Confirmed from Hillsdale 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 Hillsdale Park
“Bathrooms are always clean and there are covered shelter areas.”
Great park for kids and dogs! Nice walking path and fields for soccer. Bathrooms are always clean and there are covered shelter areas.
Overall a great park. We had lots of fun the kids really enjoyed the splash pad area and the farm themed playground. A few snobby moms but the kids had a blast either way. I would recommend bringing children here. Bathrooms available also small outdoor grills walking trails and outdoor fitness stations.
Great park! My kids love the paved "track" they can ride their bikes or skate/ scooter around. Also good for walking around for exercise. It has a small splash pad and a playground. There are 2 large covered picnic areas. The bathrooms are clean.
The park has a vast area for multiple activities to be played, even at the same time. I play flag football on this field and it has been a great time. However, I would not recommend using this field after or during a rain storm.
