Confirmed from Knob 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.
Park with baseball fields, a playground, and basketball facilities, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Knob Hill Park
“I noticed how extremely clean the area & lakeside was while we stopped to take in the beauty of nature on the wooden bridge.”
“It’s a clean and quiet park and it’s beautiful as well.”
Nice neighborhood park with a children's play area, 2 baseball fields, a basketball hoop, an ice rink with a warming house, a large mowed grassy area, walking trails, and a parking lot. It has something to offer many people of diverse ages and interests
It's a beautiful green space. The playground is pretty small, and it is still fun to run around a few times.
