Yes- take Hamblen road all the way back- you will find the hill. There's a school on the left before the hill- or drive all the way down the hill and park on the side. There is actually a loop that goes thru the neighborhood off to the right. It's a long gradual hill more than short and steep.
You could also go to Eisenhower Park down in Summerwood. There is a 3 mile loop or a mile(?) loop. One hill is shorter and steeper the other is more relaxed with a curve.
@Jpgurl: Are you talking about NE Christian Academy? Â Looking at Google Maps, that loop must be on Indian Hill Trail, and continues on Sunrise Trail to Redbud, then back to Hamblen. Â Looks like it's just under a mile long loop. Â A long, gradual hill is fine; actually good, as that would a little better simulate (with repeats) a long climb on trails. Â I'll go check this out for traffic issues.
I live in Kings River, so getting to Eisenhower Park would be fine too, if not easier. Â Are the trails there paved or dirt/gravel? Â I'd really love some soft trails like East End or Lake Houston Wilderness. Â Either way, it looks like another good tree-covered area to run in the summer. Â Not sure why I haven't been here yet. Â Thanks for responding. 4951
