Confirmed from Summerhill 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.
Recreational space featuring a play structure, swings and picnic areas.
What runners say about Summerhill Park
“Great jungle gym for the kids, its large clean and canopy covered.”
“Entire play ground is covered with a giant sun shade and there's a huge open field for the kids to run around, play sports, etc”
I would rate this park a 3.5 to 3.9 it's easy to get to. Good parking, just careful not to stay after dusk, will lock your car in. Very large open field. Great jungle gym for the kids, its large clean and canopy covered. A few lunch tables , clean bathroom facilities, and the landscape seem to be well maintained.
Very nice local park. The play area is completely shaded which is nice in the heat of midday. The four tables and benches however are in direct sunlight. So be sure to use sunscreen. There is also a nice size grass area for running around or could accommodate a touch football or pitch and catch game.
Great playground for kids.. covered so the playground doesn't get too hit or rained on. Lots of room for the kids/pets to run around. Plus bathrooms.
Awesome park! Entire play ground is covered with a giant sun shade and there's a huge open field for the kids to run around, play sports, etc
