Confirmed from Red Hill Community 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 Red Hill Community Park
“Kids throw the ball, doggy sniffs and romps with other canines, Gramma sits in the shade.”
“My dog park and I love it; have been going for four years now.”
Pretty good dog park. It has chips on the ground and bags. There are regulars here as well as dog walkers. Lots of nice people.
In Marin this is my go-to dog park. It's quite large and plenty of running room. A large shade structure and shade trees offer protection. They always have waste bags available and everybody there is friendly and helpful, with group activities often scheduled. There's also a little dog's area now.
Beautiful setting and friendly owners. Small-dog area is temporary, with a permanent one to come. Small dogs get the run of the place from 3-4 p.m. The members of this community are very involved in its upkeep and improvement.
Lovey setting for dogs and owners. Friendly and comfortable. My grandkids and I love to take our pooch here. Kids throw the ball, doggy sniffs and romps with other canines, Gramma sits in the shade. A slice of heaven!
