Confirmed from Hilltop-Rosenwald 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.

“:) I would recommend for all ages.”

Cute little park with a beautiful fountain in the middle of this cute little lake. You can make it a nice sporadic romantic walk around the lake with your significant other. Mine loved it.

★★★★☆ — Mr , Nov 2021

Lovely little park- lots of cedar trees, a play ground, basketball courts, mostly shaded walking trail, bathrooms, large gazebo/pavilion right next to the playground. I spent an enjoyable afternoon here knitting and letting my dog and cat enjoy the clover.

★★★★★ — Charlie , Jun 2023

Cute little park. The walking trail is almost half a mile. There are lots of shady spots, benches, picnic tables, & 2 small gazebos. The large gazebo can be rented for parties. There is a small playground, but I just go here to walk the trail. I walk around it 4 times to get 2 miles in.

★★★★★ — Victoria , May 2018

Excellent park with a lot of activities. Playground equipment, basketball courts, trails and picnic area. Historical information too.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
