Confirmed from Mountainview 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.
What runners say about Mountainview Park
“Well maintained Tennis courts and Basketball courts open till 10pm and flood lights.”
Amazing park! Clean and scaped well. The playground is well kept up, nothing is broken nor vandalized. There is a walking or bike riding paved road that goes around basketball courts, tennis courts, horseshoe courts, playground and picnic tables and a gazebo. Plenty of parking and public bathrooms. Recommend 5 stars
Lots of courts, basketball and tennis equipped with a baseball field as well. Also has a paved road for pedestrians to walk around the whole outline of the park, perfect for a walk/bike ride/walking animals.
A very nice park right next to the local high school. One can have a picnic, barbecue, play sports such as basketball and tennis. One can also practice golf swings and run laps around the track.
Very clean park and shaded. It's not really big, but there is still enough room for like 5 medium-sized dogs to run around
