Confirmed from Kimball Hill 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.
Ball fields, a fishing & skating pond & picnic areas highlight this community park with bike trails.
What runners say about Kimball Hill Park
“The playgrounds are very well maintained, clean, and safe for kids, which makes it a perfect spot for families.”
“Kimball Hill Park is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature.”
Pretty nice trail around a pond with a nice fairly large man-made waterfall. Borders to a decent creek as well. Offers ziplines (3) and a smaller playground as well for the kids that was just completed and is wonderful! Nearby Kimball Hill school playgrounds are easily accessible via a short walk.
CHECK OUT THE MEMORIAL TOWER!! TO OUR FALLEN...BEAUTIFUL JOB FOR ALL INVOLVED!! This park has it all!!! Baseball park, 7 parks for kids to play with parks made according to age. It's well taken care of. Nice small pond for fishing stocked fish. Absolutely beautiful!! Places to BBQ and have parties with permits.

Zipline was the key attraction for the kids. Also small water fall and walk around the lake was good 👍
