Confirmed from Nob Hill Trail 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.

MixedScenicHillyWater

Steep park featuring slides (some say for adults) and workout stations, plus a trail running to the top of a hill for views.

“Wonderful walk with my girls beautiful view of town and fun on the slides of course”

This park is good if you are looking to run or walk up a hill, since it has a great blocked to traffic paved street, on the north side, and a shorter but steeper compounded dirt trail, on the south side. It is ok for visiting with your kids, so they can do a few runs down the slides, but there isn't much repeat value.

★★★★☆ — Shawn , Nov 2018

Steep but easy hike. Amazing views from the top. Enter on the West 3rd side for a paved road. The Dunne side is slippery crushed gravel so be careful.

★★★★★ — Baron , Mar 2021

Strenuous but a little too short Great use of space, kudos for the city planners of Morgan Hill. Look closely you'll see the wild turkeys who came out for a stroll after we left.

★★★★☆ — Nelly , Oct 2021

Love this trail! The hills are a great work out and the view is amazing! Yes there are deer. This was a very creative way to utilize the area for all to use! Highly recommend it!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
