Confirmed from Ridge Crest 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“Peaceful, fresh, lots of trees, and away from the crowds”

I'm going to give this part five stars and it doesn't matter if it's right next to the school and who cares about traffic and the city and blah blah blah wait your turn for the green light buddy have some patience and figure life out or switch elementary schools!

★★★★★ — Hoser , Oct 2021

Good park that has tons of space to run and play for the little ones. Very quiet. Not the best at night due to limited lighting, but the neighborhood is good so if you're in a big enough group you should be fine. The city takes.csre of the appearance, and yes, it has a pokestop for Pokemon Go players, and a gym. ;)

★★★★☆ — Pocket , Jan 2017

Cute little park. It was nice and clean and the people that were running around were all friendly. The only thing was that there were a bunch of wasps around the play area. They didn't harass us but they were present.

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.
