Confirmed from Los Alamos Hills Sports 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.
40-acre park housing many athletic fields & walking paths, plus picnic tables & 2 shaded play areas.
What runners say about Los Alamos Hills Sports Park
“Separate playgrounds for each age group Bathrooms are usually clean too!”
“The large playground is covered with shade and there are several picnic tables under a pergola.”
“Nice playground for kids of all ages.”
A very nice and very large sports park. 4 baseball fields. 2 turf football fields and 2 turf soccer fields. There is also a tot lot near the soccer field and large playground close to the baseball fields. The large playground is covered with shade and there are several picnic tables under a pergola.
Another great park to add to our list! Plenty of parking, space for picnics, walking and 2 playgrounds for older and younger children! Definitely will return! Update: was here today and there were 2 birthday parties going on. Love the amount of attention the attendees put into cleaning up after themselves.
Awsome spot to run and have picnic. The fields are great for walking too. There is a small play ground and a big play ground. They also have Poke-stops and a battle gym. The trial offers a 2 1/2 mile walk or run with ease. The bathrooms are clean and the park is well maintained.
Been here a few times with my better half for various reasons. Today was to let our Puppy run for a bit and eat some lunch. All flock blocking and pandemia aside the place was immaculate, as usual.
