Confirmed from Pine Ridge 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.
Dogs are welcome at this 24-acre urban forest, which offers walking trails & views of Goodhope Pond.
What runners say about Pine Ridge Park
“Gorgeous location with pathways for simple biking or strollers and a bit off pathways to feel like you’re hiking.”
“Definitely not a "hike" but if you wanted a nice loop to jog with lots of quick elevation gains this would be an ideal intermediate jogging space.”
“The trail was very peaceful and the walking surface fairly level and wide.”
“I walk my dog here, go with friends, look at the ducks and more.”
This one was a bit lack luster. The main path was flat, but pretty rocky. It would make a pretty bumpy ride for someone in a wheelchair or stroller and wouldn’t be ideal for someone who wasn’t very sure on their feel. The pictures will show you what I mean a little more clearly.
Nice park to walk my older dog as the main path is flat. It is also wide enough for social distancing. There are also some narrower trails that follow the ridge line.
Very nice picnic type park. Only down side really, is how small it is. Definitely not a "hike" but if you wanted a nice loop to jog with lots of quick elevation gains this would be an ideal intermediate jogging space. Also a fun walk for doggos.
Great little trail in my neighborhood is why I love it! It is peaceful, clean and easily accessible. There is an upper trail and and lower trail. Nice shady place to walk on a hot summer day.
