Confirmed from Sledding Hill - Sunset Knoll 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.

What runners say about Sledding Hill - Sunset Knoll Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (40 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Uncrowned, decent size, lots of moguls, strange on a sledding hill. Google directions are off though.

★★★★★ — Kovas , Feb 2021

★★★★★ — Marko , Mar 2021

Sunset Knoll Park in Lombard is a very nice place I give it for four and a half Stars I've lived in Lombard for 30 years and it was only the second time I visited it on Saturday and it is improved dramatically since 25 years ago I liked the .9 Mile paved walking trail.

★★★★☆ — Listen , Aug 2021

This park is a tiny park but has space for playing soccer and is good for a morning walk and other sports activities !

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

“Best hill in town for sledding as well as a great work out to walk or run up during the summer❗️”
