Confirmed from Pah Rah Mountain 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 featuring several playgrounds, a basketball court and tennis courts.

Pah Rah has always been a nice park, been coming here for years. Lots of trees for shade, benches scattered about to sit down at, a nice-sized gazebo for parties and get-togethers, and plenty of space to do what people do at the park. Park maintenance has always been good at keeping it nice.
This park is huge. The photos don't give the full scale of this park. If I can describe it, there's was about 4-5 play structures, baseball grass area, open grass area, tennis area, basketball area, and a long sideway area for walking. If you want to do outdoor activity that involve alot of space, hit up this park.
This park has it all! Swings, slides, shad over the playground, bathrooms, walking trails, tennis courts! Definitely a crowd pleaser for my 5 kiddos! Specially my little ones!
Theres not much else you could want in a park A lot of parking Shade structures Multiple play structures for varying ages and abilities Their “toddler” play structure is one of our favorites in the area The structures are all relatively new and kept up well Only downside recently is it seems so take a while to see…
