Confirmed from Wildcat Ridge 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.
Park featuring a sledding hill in winter, plus paths and open spaces.
What runners say about Wildcat Ridge Park
“Clean and easily accessible great place to walk the dog”
Fun and safe park. Go fly a kite, play ball or just run around. In winter you can sliding down the hill. It's a great local neighborhood favorite park.
Sweeping panoramic vista views reward those willing to hike the 2.5 mile loop. Great views and great exercise! Just no shade so be mindful of that.
This is a nice sledding hill with lots of room to spread out. We visited on a weekday, so it was not busy. Parking is available along the curb and it looked like there was just a trashcan, so take a plan accordingly.
Nice little area with open space. Most any open space near this one will have more space, trails, playground, marked field or something more.
