Confirmed from Homeward Hills 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.
Recreational oasis featuring a playground, sports courts, trails, an ice rink & a barn for events.

Nice park. The kids have fun. However the walking paths only go to dead end cul-de-sacs in neighbor hoods. And there were dead animals near the walking paths kindof upset my 11 year old but the kids still really likes this park
Ohh it's good. Kids play area is amazing. It has tennis court, basket ball court, volley ball court, pets area and a small trail for the walk. It's a nice place to spend time with kids and family.
Great park close to home. My kids love going here and playing basketball and baseball or just running around the playground. Nice shady spots and a pavilion to rent.
