We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Rock Garden yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Rock Garden
“It's a beautiful hike that's easy and doesn't take too long to get there.”
A work of love by a local resident, this Rock garden is worth the walk. Highly recommend stopping at this spot that was put together by a man that loves nature and the area.
Plenty of various trails in Allsopp Park to hike about. Numerous combinations for short and long hikes or runs. Park is situated in two (2) valleys so it's on the hills and in the woods. Overall easy trails but some steeper short climbs.
Cute and decent hiking trails. Street parking available on one side of the street in a neighborhood.
There is something very peaceful about this place! It's a beautiful hike that's easy and doesn't take too long to get there. Visit after a rain if you can.
