Confirmed from Ruby Grant 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.
Park featuring play areas, barbecue grills and disc golf, along with hiking and walking trails.
What runners say about Ruby Grant Park
“Well maintained park firc the digs and trails to exercise, and the people going there and bringing their dogs or go for a stroll or run are pretty awesome and friendly”
“Benches for adults and shaded areas to play as well.”
This is one awesome walking park. It is dog friendly. The path is paved plus some graval trail paths. There is plenty of parking with handicap spots. If you go during the daytime dress appropriately, the sun beats down hot. There are benches to sit on during your walk.
New park with a nice memorial for Ruby Grant, covered pavilion, sculpture, and nice hiking/walking trail. Big parking lot with plenty of space to park. Along the trails you will find kids playground, restrooms, side trails, and disk golf. This park was completed in Dec of 2020.
I walk here almost everyday. Extremely clean and peaceful park. It’s really great and a hidden treasure in Norman.
Nice park. There is a walking trail with some art statutes, a nice Pavillion for picnics, and nice clean bathrooms. They do have automatic toliets: for those with noise sensitivities. The playground is a walk from this side of the park. You can drive around the block and park right up to the playground.
