Dawn to dusk

Confirmed from Oak Hill 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.

“Very romantic and family friendly!”

Next to Monte Vista High School. Great, clean park. Ducks and geese are in and around the man-made pond. Lots of well-maintained lawn. Good size playground area with bucket swings for under 18 months old. Community Center can be rented out. Nice wide walking paths for both walkers, strollers, and dog walkers.

A little over 2 laps of the pond reported as 1.0 miles on my Garmin watch, but I did walk all of the Veterans Memorial side paths both laps. Nice to see remains of numerous red, white and blue flower arrangements on the retaining wall so it was used, the fallen were publicly well recalled just days after Memorial Day.

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.
