Confirmed from Sycamore Canyon 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.
City land with a playground, ball field, BBQ grill, picnic tables, exercise stations & nature trail.

“A very nice place with a great environment — perfect for an easy hike.”
Peaceful park with two sets of stairs and workout stations at the top. Dog-friendly. Free parking lot available. There is a playground for children. Came here to workout on a Sunday morning and while there were people strolling about, it wasn’t too crowded.
It's a nice short hike with an amazing view. The park is very serene and great place for a picnic. The creek is very nice and adds to the peaceful atmosphere. If you're in the mood to just go somewhere quiet with nice scenery, this is a great choice.
Perfect little park. Nice trail kids loved it. Some steep parts and lots of stairs ideal for older children 6 years or older. Beware of poison ivy. Two playgrounds. One for smaller children and one for older aged children. Decent parking.
Very nice park, slash hiking trail. With a softball field at the front entrance of the park. Playground area next to a lil stream is kool for the kiddos. Bathrooms located here as we'll. Overall nice park, 4 star's.
