Confirmed from Ross Hills 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.
Public park offering kid-friendly hikes and barbecue grills.
What runners say about Ross Hills Park
“Beautiful park to go for a walk.”
Love coming to this park. Now that I know where the trails are, it is about a 2.5 miles long, it takes us about an hour to walk it. I enjoy that my dog can run around and have a great time. I think she loves the waterfall more than me. I come almost every day.
I had a wonderful service by Veronica Fierro. She help us and went the extra mile to serve us with excellency. Thank you so much Veronica! my whole family are clients of Ross Hills now.
Loved this place!! It's was so beautiful. My family rented it for our Thanksgiving dinner. It had a fully usable kitchen with a giant dining room and they is also a basement. It was pretty chilly out but I noticed that also had some walking trails upon further research they actually have somewhere around 2.
Always fun to romp around there with my dogs. It's a quick hour or so hike for us but there really is a lot to explore and open space too. Lots of poison ivy this time of year and I wasn't prepared so that limited some exploring.
