Confirmed from Rawhide 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.
Quirky urban recreation area with climbing structures, metal sculptures & 3 walking trail loops.

This place is simply superb. Located in a neighborhood and yet very close to the main road; calm and serene. Though the name says "Rawhide 'park'", it actually is more of a trails.
Beautiful place to walk!! Swinging benches, ducks and geese. 3 parks along the trails but no bathrooms. Even more beautiful at night.
Very nice place to walk or jog. The trails are scenic, with nicely landscaped areas and lots of trees providing shade. I love walking my dog here, as there are randomly placed drinking fountains for both humans and dogs, plus there there are plenty of dog waste stations available.
Well maintained. I love the map that shows the different routes you can take with the mileage included. I enjoy seeing ducks, turtles, and other animals there. It's a great place to walk. A wonderful place to take your kids because they have a small park and library right there. One of the places to feel at peace.
