What’s At Carbon Canyon Regional Park

Trails

A popular trail at Carbon Canyon Regional Park is the just over a mile out and back nature trail. This trail brings you to a three acre Redwood Grove and is popular for bird watchers. The dirt trail is mostly flat and is good for hikers of all ages.

There are additional trails both paved and unpaved, throughout the park so you can extend your hike. The multiuse trails here are open to equestrians and bikes as well.

If you want a more educational hike there are naturalist-guided tours and group talks offered throughout the year. Reservations can be made through the park’s office.

Dogs are welcome on the trails at Carbon Canyon as long as they are on a 6-foot leash.

Courts

There are eight public outdoor tennis courts within the park as well as three sand volleyball courts. Other recreational facilities include two softball backstops that can also be utilized plus large multipurpose fields.

Playgrounds

There are four playgrounds complete with slides, play structures, benches and grassy areas to play on. All are within a short distance of each other and restrooms.
