Confirmed from South 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.

“It is a beautiful park though- love to bring the kids in the fall to see all the changing leaves and the fall weather.”

The South Hills Park is one of my favorite places in Lebanon. 5 minutes from down town and plenty of parking. Walking/ riding paths, playgrounds, Basketball and Volleyball courts, Football and Baseball fields, workout stations, and both Frisbee and traditional Golfing areas.

★★★★★ — Adam , Dec 2022

Great place to take the kids or to go out and get some exercise. Has a nice walking/biking path. Fields for baseball/softball. Volleyball courts. Basketball courts. Tennis courts. Disc golf. 2 playgrounds. Restrooms. Pavilions you can rent out and a few picnic tables if you want to pack lunch.

★★★★★ — Chelsey , Aug 2018

This park is massive! Very clean & well maintained- despite its size. It’s popular among locals as it has various activities for its visitors of all ages to participate in.

★★★★★ — Lily , Jul 2022

Beautifully maintained park, a great walking/biking path, plenty of outdoor activities and the tennis and pickle-ball courts were recently renovated. Great disc golf course and several different parking locations on different sides of the park.

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.
