Confirmed from Oak Hill Community 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.
Family-friendly park for hiking and biking and a playground, plus a ball field and creek views.

This park is just like going back into your childhood it's a smal, secludedl Park no one ever bothers you there. it is so peaceful with little creek running along side pretty through really is an amazing place to take your kids, take your dog for a walk or just go for some alone time
Great little park with playground, large pavillion with picnic tables. Clean Bathrooms. Shallow stream to wade in. Baseball field. And short trails thru the woods. Very quiet area. Great for kids birthday partys
Really nice area, just needs a little love and update of a couple park things but is really quiet and tranquil. Felt like I could just let the kids run and play without worry.
Great new trail system! About 2 miles of hiking only with nice views and 5 miles of beginner mountain bike with nice flow and fun features!
