Confirmed from Sheep 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.
Park featuring sports facilities, a playground, picnic tables, and trails.

A decent park along the Aliso Creek Bikeway and it has some nice fields, sporting areas and paths.
