Table of Contents
Project Overview: The Fox Hill Park improvement project is transforming the park into a more accessible, engaging, and family-friendly outdoor space for the entire community. Highlights include an expanded playground with a brand-new play area designed specifically for children ages 2–5, upgraded crusher-fines trails that replace informal social paths, and targeted vegetation restoration to promote healthier native landscapes. These updates are driven by a commitment to safety, inclusivity, and sustainability—ensuring the park remains a welcoming place for all ages and abilities.
Visitors will also enjoy several enhanced recreational features, including a reimagined basketball court area with a new playing surface, a climbing boulder, and a shaded shelter perfect for picnics and gatherings. Additional improvements, such as updated trail signage and a new split-rail fence along the southern boundary, will boost navigation, protect natural areas, and help maintain the park’s open-space feel. Together, these upgrades reflect a thoughtful investment in the future of Fox Hill Park, providing residents with a vibrant, functional, and beautiful community destination for years to come.
About the Location: Fox Hill Park is a 40-acre park located at 4825 South Himalaya Street. It currently features a playground for kids ages 2-12, a basketball court, a rentable picnic shelter, and a 0.5-mile walking trail (called Fox Hill Trail) that connects to West Tollgate Trail in the southeast corner of the park.
December 2024 - Project Begins
After several months of unexpected delays, the 2024 Fox Hill Improvement Project began construction in December 2024.
February 2025
Despite heavy snow and other weather delays, construction continued at Fox Hill Park with the formalization of social trails and the removal of the basketball court.
April 2025
TPRD published its “Fox Hill Park Improvement: Update 1” blog, which features drone images taken at the end of March. These pictures show the new crusher-fine social trails, the new basketball court, and the ongoing construction for the new playground for kids ages 2-5.
November 2025 - Project Complete
Trails Park and Recreation District is excited to announce that the Fox Hill Park: 2024 Improvement Project is officially complete! All major enhancements — including the brand-new full-size basketball court, redesigned playground, natural-style climbing rock, upgraded crusher-fine trails, and improved sidewalk connections — are now open for the community to enjoy. The new picnic shelter, split-rail fencing, and updated trail signage have also been fully installed, creating a more accessible, functional, and inviting park experience for visitors of all ages.
In addition to the new amenities, crews have completed all vegetation restoration efforts, removing noxious weeds and reintroducing native plant species to strengthen the park’s long-term ecological health. These final touches, combined with durable new features and improved recreational spaces, ensure that Fox Hill Park is ready to serve the community for many years to come.
