Confirmed from Rock 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.
Kid-friendly park featuring a zip line and a playground along with tree-lined disc golf fairways and trails.
What runners say about Rock Ridge Park
“It has one of my favorite disc golf courses, the place is always clean, and they recently paved the driveway from the main road to the parking lot, which was a huge improvement.”
“Great kids park and great shade on a 99⁰ and sunny kinda weather day!”
“There were easy to navigate paved and unpacked trails.”
Great short walking loop that’s fully paved. Decent playground. Restroom at parking lot and some pavilions and benches throughout. Frisbee golf course looks awesome
Such a cool find! Great kids park and great shade on a 99⁰ and sunny kinda weather day!
-Beautiful drive and walk into the park -Slides can get really hot but the zip line and tree house are super cool. -Zip line is slow if you worry about that kind of thing. -Nice trails around, may be narrow if you have a big stroller and dogs but very doable. -My boys love it. -I love it New equipment!
This will be one of my new favorites in Pittsboro. It’s only 10 minutes from town but hidden deep in the woods. The playground was whimsical. There were easy to navigate paved and unpacked trails. No restrooms but there was a porta potty. Disk golf looked like fun.
