Confirmed from Mill Hollow 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.
Neighborhood park with a paved path, a playground and picnic tables and benches.
What runners say about Mill Hollow Park
“Beautiful park with a new playground.”
Beautiful park with a new playground. There are several picnic tables next to the playground and between it and a single tennis court. There is also a medium size pavilion with picnic tables that can be reserved. Beyond the tennis court and playground is a large flat greenspace perfect for soccer or ultimate Frisbee.
As far as basic, simple parks go, this is a great park. It's nestled in between three huge hills, at the top of which are residential neighborhoods. The hills are not groomed. It's very tempting to climb the hills, but there are posted signs stating that climbing is prohibited.
They updated the park a couple weeks ago and it's much nicer than the old one. There are lots of fun slides, shade umbrellas over the playground, and some fun little houses for smaller kids to pay on.
It’s so close to my business so I brought my dog over after to play ball and you can see how enthusiastic he was about that but he loved the grass to roll in! I can’t wait to come back and bring my granddaughter and have a picnic!
Trail conditions & character
“One thing to watch out for is kids climbing on the steep sides; rocks can tumble down onto others climbing below them.”
“The other quarter of the trail that completes the perimeter is a cement sidewalk that goes around the tennis court, picnic tables, restrooms, and playground.”
“There is a paved trail around 3/4 of the perimeter of the large grassy field.”
“Nice park with playground, soccer fields, baseball diamond, walking path, parking and restrooms.”
“It’s so close to my business so I brought my dog over after to play ball and you can see how enthusiastic he was about that but he loved the grass to roll in!”
“Brautiful park loop for walking, cucling and skating.”
“Kept looking for a water fountain and couldn't find one, but not sure if I just missed it.”
