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.
Neighborhood park with a playground, picnic tables, and BBQ grills, plus a short hiking trail.
What runners say about Rock Ridge Park
“There's no swings and they have wood chips instead of sand or artificial turf, the park was very clean when we went.”
“Taking the trail to the mountains was so beautiful!”
“SS charcoal BBQs, playground equipment, shaded & unshaded tables, nice curvy paved walkway, hiking, but young trees.”
Awesome park to go for a hike. Towards the end of the trail there is a huge rocky hill with many different paths you can choose from to hike to the top. This is a hike to try it is super fun.
I love this park I didn't know there's a hiking trail behind it and it goes very long ways until the other side of Walmart pretty nice if you want to go for a hike haven't gone for a full hike to see where it starts from and from where it ends but I know the park is one of the entrance
Taking the trail to the mountains was so beautiful! We did see alot of geckos. We also saw a snake. Forwards the play ground itself my baby enjoyed herself
It's a small park with a playground for the kiddos to play on and 2 covered bench areas for parties or picnics. There is also a trail for hiking, but we did not check it out due to the hot weather. Good park if you're in the area and want somewhere to take the kids to play and have a picnic.
