Confirmed from Mountview 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.
Venue featuring playgrounds, soccer fields, basketball & tennis courts, plus a splash pad.
What runners say about Mountview Park
“The splash pad is the main attraction—it’s clean, well-maintained, and has a great mix of water features for little ones to explore.”
“This is a nice park and the name did well as it has a great view of the mountains.”
“It was pretty busy all day and their isn't much shade, so I would suggest bringing something to shade your family and definitely bring sunscreen.”
“What I appreciated most is that the area felt safe and family-friendly.”
Great park with two playgrounds, walking trails, courts, splash pad, covered picnic areas with tables, and ample parking. There is also lots of greenspace. One of the playgrounds is geared towards younger kids (under 5) and the other is better for older kids with taller slides and lots of climbing toys.
Today... Nice park. Adults were masked but people do not pick up their dog droppings. Gross! 3yrs ago... This was my first time here. My kids have been before with their dad. We love how spacious and well-maintained the park is. We are excited to go back this Summer to check out the splash pad.
Awesome park with lots of features. Access to East Jordan Canal Trail, water park splash pad, playground, tennis and basketball courts, soccer fields, pavilion, and tons of grass. Children and dog friendly!
