Confirmed from Almond Grove 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.
Clean park featuring swing sets, picnic tables and a playground for children.
What runners say about Almond Grove Park
“We found this little park yesterday and it is very clean and seemed safe.”
“Clean , quiet, great okay area”
“My dog loves it here, mainly because quite a few lazy mo-fo's won't pick up their dogs poop.”
It's a sweet little neighborhood park with a great playground for the kids, or grandkids if you're old like me. The concrete path that goes around the perimeter is right about 1/3 mile. Jogging, although the concrete is rather unforgiving, is kinda cool with the slight ups and downs.
It was after hours, my boyfriend and I have been checking out all the parks. It's an us thing. We took a walk , sat on the toys. The. Left. Clean , quiet, great okay area
Great park, plenty of lawn area for ball games with friends or family. The sidewalk is almost exactly a mile in length, perfect for keeping pace while jogging.
I like this park. It has a play area for kids as well as swings. It also has a pathway for walking. It's also quiet. Many people walk their dogs here
