Confirmed from Sonoran Mountain Ranch 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.
Recreation area featuring a shaded playground, basketball courts, picnic tables, and a trailhead.
What runners say about Sonoran Mountain Ranch Park
“This is a wonderful, mid-sized desert-suburban park, right at the edge of some preserved state land, and adjacent to the East Wing trailhead, a gorgeous, 2.”
This is a wonderful, mid-sized desert-suburban park, right at the edge of some preserved state land, and adjacent to the East Wing trailhead, a gorgeous, 2.4 mile round-trip hike. The western edge of the park empties out onto state land, with mostly flat, dirt trails. Very scenic.
Didn't do too much here; it's the trailhead and parking area for the East Wing Mountain Preserve. Make sure you use the water fountain to fill up your water. :)
Very nice little park with a playground, restrooms, water, and access to the Eastwing Mountain Trail.
Great family park. Trail head, playground, bathroom, and tables. Sometimes very busy but families that frequent here are friendly.
