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.

What runners say about Pine Ridge Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (36 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

Went 8 years living nearby till I found out about this spot. Don't miss the little sign on the tree, as it's easy to pass in the winter if no other cars are there. Very short walk from parking and a perfect little hill for family sledding.

★★★★☆ — Jason , Nov 2022

Very peaceful and quiet. Great place to meditate. I love to walk in the woods

★★★★★ — Kim , Oct 2021

Great park and walking trail. It also 2nds as a massive sledding hill in the winter! They added a nice pavilion for the summer with picnic tables and fire pit for the sledding partys

★★★★★ — Dmin1990 , Jan 2026

Nice little park. We went for the sledding hill, so we didn't walk the trails or anything, but the sledding was great. Nice bowl with plenty of space for several lines.

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.
