2 years ago♿️⚠️Beautiful walking area, paved, but there are several hills that may be difficult unless this is something you are used to walking or in a wheelchair. I had just gotten my newest prosthetic and wanted to see how well I could do. There are several spots to parallel park and only hold maybe 4 cars each. I parked as close to beginning as I could and walked the entirety and back. There are some amazing views along the way. You can see the city skyline above some of the rooftops. Please keep in mind this is in someone's neighborhood, so please clean up after yourself and your pet. A part of the Red Rock Trail System and part of the Jones Valley section. The hills gave me a good workout. I absolutely loved the decorations the neighborhood has added along the way, so if you aren't admiring the skyline, you ate looking at rock stacks, a concrete lantern, and I found 2 iron sculptures in people's front yards that were amusing. I love that everyone works together in the Jones Valley, Crestwood, and Homewood areas to keep their parks and walking trails beautiful and well kept. It says it is 8/10ths of a mile one way, so 1.6 miles if you walk it end to end.
