Confirmed from Scenic Hill 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.
Peaceful spot for kids and adults alike to enjoy, with walking trails and picnic areas.
What runners say about Scenic Hill Park
“Scenic Hill Park was beautiful, peaceful, access to many different activities, easy to get to.”
“Comfortable and quiet after school hours, wide paths, cover drilling areas and accessible water.”
Forest loops, tennis court, covered picnic area with facilities, bball .5 court, plenty of parking and a playground. Woodsy, lush, and clean.
It was very quiet when I was there. I grilled some incredible burgers that had cheddar and bacon in the ground beef. Some trails for walking.
I didn't visit the whole park as I was alone. But I would like to go back with others. There's a tennis court, a children playground, bbq spots, restroom, water fountain, a trail path and probably a swimming pool which I could see from afar.
Im not familiar with this canyon (acriss the street from this particular park) and i didn't see any visible signs informing of trails into the canyon? I really wanted to go on some trails down in there!! :)
