Confirmed from Sandhurst 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.
Playground-equipped park featuring trails and a grassy expanse for picnics and ballgames.

Very cool! Perfect for little people. ✨TombRaider energy✨!! Quick run to the swing set, slide and climb
Loved how clean the park is. Park includes two playgrounds; one play/climbing and one climbing wall. Only baby swings which disappointed my kids but they had a wonderful time with everything else. Restrooms clean, two picnic tables, and large grill. Hiking trails were short but very well kept.
This is a wonderful little neighborhood park in Southern Pines in between three different neighborhoods of Sandhurst South, Sandhurst West, and Sandhurst. There is a quarter of a mile walking loop as well as a terrific field for throwing ball and a few playground items too. It was a beautiful NC day to visit the park.
Quiet,set back off the road small playground with a walking trail and plenty of green space for ball games,cartwheels,freeze tag etc! Small Picnic shelter ,restrooms & water fountains on site. Infant swings,but none for older kids,which is the only down side to this park.
