Confirmed from Alamo Creek Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

This is one of the Vacaville is oldest parks it's a beautiful park to bring your family to because it has so many different things to do and so much area and space. Plenty of space to have a soccer game kickball baseball flag football game, just play catch with your friends and family.

★★★★★ — The , Oct 2022

Great park in an older part of the city. The trees atr established and older growth which means they're great for shade. This park is nice sized. A trail winds through the many trees and the garden area. Lots of benches and picnic tables. The area is pretty well maintained. The basketball court is a small half court...

★★★★★ — Ryan , Jul 2021

This is a great park for just walking, jogging, enjoying the sunshine, taking your dog. They are in the process of replacing all the playground equipment with new stuff, replacing that that has been there for at least 15 to 20 years. The only reason I gave this four-star’s was the lack of bathrooms.

★★★★☆ — Jeff , Mar 2023

Beautiful landscaped well maintained shaded neighborhood park. Features a substantial green belt. Two children playground areas. A 2- 5 year old and 5 - 8 year old jungle gym structures. The park also has several tennis courts and a single basketball hoop. A half mile jogging loop is also designed into this nice park.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
