Woodland Hills combines a rural, wooded character with specific ways to spend time outdoors. In Woodland Hills City Park, trails wind through wooded areas and meadows; the park is also home to the Birdie Disc Golf Course and the Park Loop. During the winter months, City Park and Lauritzen Field are groomed for classic cross-country skiing, winter walks, and snowshoeing. Activities range from the nine-hole course and loops to seasonal winter offerings. When planning, it helps to distinguish between these options: the loops vary in length and elevation gain, while winter offerings depend on conditions and local operations.

Disc Golf in City Park

The Birdie Disc Golf Course was established in Woodland Hills City Park in 2014 and has nine holes. Its layout combines tight throws between trees with open-field play, so the same round alternates between wooded and open playing conditions. The course calls for a different kind of planning than the loops: here, the focus is on the activity and its changing layout, while the trails are defined by length and elevation gain.

Loops by Length and Elevation Gain

The Park Loop, Eagle Nest Loop, Loafer Loop, and Oak Loop vary in length and elevation gain. The Park Loop is 0.5 miles long and has 56 feet of elevation gain. The Eagle Nest Loop is 1.0 mile with 100 feet of elevation gain, while the Loafer Loop is 1.3 miles with 290 feet. At 3.3 miles and 616 feet of elevation gain, the Oak Loop has the highest figures for both. The Park Loop and Oak Loop are at opposite ends of the range: Oak is a little over six times as long as the Park Loop and has eleven times as much elevation gain. Eagle Nest and Loafer fall in between. When choosing a route, you can weigh both measures together instead of considering distance alone.

Winter at City Park and Lauritzen Field

Woodland Hills City Park and Lauritzen Field are groomed for classic cross-country skiing during the winter months. Both locations are also groomed for winter walks and snowshoeing. These offerings are seasonal; grooming depends on winter conditions and local operations. If you’re planning one of these activities for your visit, check local grooming conditions in advance. That way, you can choose based on the current winter conditions rather than the calendar alone.

Rural Character and Sweeping Views

Woodland Hills City Park sits at an elevation of about 6,000 feet. Woodland Hills is rural and wooded, provides habitat for wildlife, and is also known for its sweeping views. The Birdie Disc Golf Course offers a wide view across Utah Valley. The view is specifically located at the course, while sweeping views characterize Woodland Hills as a whole.
