Confirmed from West Hills Neighborhood 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.
Family-friendly place with a play structure and swings, plus an open grassy area.
What runners say about West Hills Neighborhood Park
“Very well maintained park with enough playground equipment to keep even the most rambunctious child busy!”
Wonderful neighborhood park. Large open grass space for playing sports (only a slight incline, flat enough for ultimate or soccer), a creek nearby for exploring, a medium sized play structure with 6 swings (1 handicap, 3 normal, 2 infant). Has a paved path all the way around for walking loop while the kids play.
Nice place for kids and dogs on leashes. Not all parks in Mcminnville allow that. Can let little ones play at the structure, close enough, while making a short loop with the dogs. Longer trails available too.
This is a great neighborhood the kids are well behaved and love this park:) it’s also a great place to get out and walk as it has trails. Great place to walk your dog as long as it’s leashed:)
