Confirmed from Southridge 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.

I love to go hiking here, right now with everything green it's so beautiful. Take any path up and you'll find a trail that takes you up to the top of the hill range, you can walk up there for hours and the views are awesome

★★★★★ — Paola , Feb 2017

Always a great time. My boys like to ride and race and this location is mountain bike friendly and has many trails. Race days attract beginner to advanced and world class rides.

★★★★★ — Lisa , Apr 2018

Great spot to play basketball, baseball, softball, take a jog, great playground area for the kids. Lots of things to do. Great outdoor area. Great that it’s so close to me. Tables to eat with your kids or family. They have restrooms that I wish were a little cleaner with soap to wash your hands.

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.
