Confirmed from Sycamore Rocks 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 Sycamore Rocks Park
“It has an abundance of green grass and shade.”
“It's a good friendly quiet park, pretty basic and simple and just an outhouse, but it's a good open park, if that's your thing.”
It's always empty and peaceful great to walk dogs great playground beautiful view
Drinking fountain a GREAT resource for cyclists riding North of Hwy-18. Find it 100ft from top of wheelchair ramp at NE end of parking lot adjacent to Joshua Rd. Shade and toilet too. A really GREAT hydration stop!
I like this park, it's clean and a great place to take kids to run and play.
