Confirmed from West Hills 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.
Spacious park with hiking trails, picnic areas, dog runs, and spooky vibes.

It's very large and supposedly haunted. It's not very difficult to hike just a few inclines. It has a very spooky vibe it's nice.
A LOT OF BUGS AND (HORSE?) POOP! It's good to walk your dog but it's a little easy to get lost. Not a lot of trail markings. Lots of roots and mud. It is fun when it's before bug season lol my dog likes coming but a lot of turns you can't see if anyone's coming until they're very close which is a little hard if you're…
