Confirmed from Vista Park Hill 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.
This hilltop green space has a softball field & children's play equipment, plus panoramic views.

Free parking and clean restrooms. No course map so use the Google maps photo as reference. Amazing panoramic views of Hollister and the Hollister Hills. BE READY TO BUSHWACK IF YOU DONT WATCH WHERE YOUR DISC LANDS! We visited on a windy day yet had a great time. 9 hole course. Dog friendly.
Great park. Play ground is pretty large and the equipment is unique. Also has picnic area, baseball field, and open grassy fields with trails that you can walk/run on. Open during pandemic. I've taken remote control cars here, frisbees, boomerangs, Etc.
