Confirmed from Red Orchard 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.
Park with hiking & equestrian trails plus a playground, horse ring & rentable barn for events.
What runners say about Red Orchard Park
“Absolutely beautiful here and very clean”
“Beautiful location with some awesome mini playgrounds for kids.”
“We only visited long enough to park and walk to a geocache, but this seemed like a quiet place to bring kids to let them play in the playground equipment.”
Nice trails and playground equipment. Equipment for exercise and frisbee golf are also available here. It's a great place to take kids of all ages and great place for exercise. Photographers and nature enthusiast alike will thoroughly enjoy this place. Can't wait to explore more here!
Red Orchard park is very nice. The walking trails are fabulous. The playground is very outdated. But all very nice
We went today for the story walk & had an awesome day. We even packed a light lunch. My son really enjoyed his self . From playing on all the different play equipment throughout the park/exercise equipment to just enjoying the outdoors .
Beautiful location with some awesome mini playgrounds for kids. Each on has an educational theme and placard. Also each one has a workout station for adults. We ride horses there and it's a beautiful location with a nice ring.
