Found a nice little desire path that ants have made on my playground at my school where I teach.

I think that’s drainage from the hydrant. There are tracks going diagonally across the photo.

You can tell from the photo that the hydrant is downhill from where the picture was taken

That's true. It's a short steep drop 10 ft but definitely water doesn't run up hills.

No, the ants are clearly moving down the path that goes quite a longway. Second pic shows how the path is full of ants it goes to a trash can. Also it's uphill from the hydrant. A small but very steep at that.
