Confirmed from Warm Springs Park and Preserve'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.
Public park with walking & biking trails, picnic tables, mature trees & horseshoe pits.
What runners say about Warm Springs Park and Preserve
“The beautiful and peaceful nature sets the mood for any occasion.”
“It really needs to be cleaned up, but it was still a peaceful relaxing walk.”
This is one of my favorite places to go hiking! You have the option to go up to a flat space that has benches to sit or you have the option to hike down and go down many trails. The view once you get to the top is BEAUTIFUL.
This is one of my favorite places to hike. There are multiple trails and it's not very crowded so it's nice to hike here when wanting to get away from people. There is also a creek/ water stream when the seasons change and its nice to just listen to the water and birds. More pics on tiktok @dom_r_
