Confirmed from Silver Springs 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 with playgrounds, picnic and grill areas, athletic facilities, and a campground.
What runners say about Silver Springs Park
“The grass is well kept, and the sandy beach area always has plenty of tennis balls laying around if your dog is inclined to play fetch.”
“The playground is great for all ages and abilities.”
Beautiful park, great for fishing! Kids derby hosted by SSA was wonderful. The lake makes for a great picnic area. There are plenty of picnic tables, docks and a covered area. My daughter caught 6 trout and 4 bluegill. We will definitely be visiting again and checking out the hiking trails.
Silver springs Park near Hudson is truly a fantastic park. There is so much to offer there. There is a huge play area for the children, and plenty of picnic and gazebos throughout the park. There are several hiking trails nearby. Basketball, tennis, soccer and baseball can be played here.
I take my dogs here all the time. The dog park is large and fenced in, giving them plenty of space to run unrestricted. The pond in the center is deep enough that dogs can swim if they want, but it has a fairly low slope at the edges so they can just wade.
Found this on a Google search while passing through. Nice!! Well maintained. We had lot #23. 18$ for residents, 22$ for non residents. Port-a-Johns were VERY clean. Website was soooo easy (and if you've dealt with Rec.gov..you feel my pain) Not in a State/Federal park. It's run by the city.
Trail conditions & character
“There's the awesome dog park (but small kids are supposedly not allowed in).”
“With that was a 20 amp station, a fire pit, tables, access to potable water, porta potties, and flushing toilets with a heated bathroom.”
“The main attraction is the ADA accessible "SOAR" playground.”
“Easy for the kids to navigate on their own, fairly quiet and our site was mostly level (27).”
“Family oriented park with a large child play area with ample parking.”
