Confirmed from 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.

Well-maintained neighborhood park featuring a playground, soccer and tennis courts.

What runners say about Ridge Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (64 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Well maintained neighborhood park with a children's play area, basketball court, tennis court, softball field, soccer fields, walking trails, picnic tables, benches, and a parking lot. It offers activities for people of all ages. People do walk dogs here, so it's a good idea to wear shoes

★★★★★ — Jrob , Jun 2019

Great park. Always love to visit it. Great for walking your dog, playing basketball and tennis. The paths are great for walking your dogs. The playground also is great for little kids and includes a tire swing which is fun for everyone.

★★★★★ — Paul , Mar 2020

One of our favorite spots! We come here all the time. Great playground, tennis/basketball courts, baseball diamond, walking trails, benches, tables and a soccer (etc) field. This park has a hold on our hearts!

★★★★★ — Mimi , Nov 2020

A peaceful place connected to all the nearby trails. We enjoy the park daily and it is wonderful to see families flying kites, playing catch, or enjoying the playground equipment.

★★★★★ — A. , Mar 2021

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.
