Confirmed from Sunset Ridge 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 Sunset Ridge Park
This park is a diamond in the rough. Perched on top of a hill in a surrounding residential neighborhood. Has a playground, unmarked soccer play field, connections to area trails and a gorgeous view to the south where one can see both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Bit of a hike up the trail to the top but it's worth it. Cool view, playground and a field. Paved trails. Nice park.
