Confirmed from Arroyo 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.
What runners say about Arroyo Park
“Well maintained pathways of asphalt, manicured lawns for playing soccer, Cricket, tossing a ball to your kid, plus they have exercise equipment along the pathways.”
“Great place to walk, run and has exercise equipment”
“Expansive park with plenty of different options for kids and adults of all ages, but seriously lacking in shade.”
It's a lovely park with lots of green space, a pool, an area for kids, a soccer field, public grills and public toilets. The running loop is roughly a mile but the park connects to other trails. It's a great place to exercise or spend a weekend day.
This is probably the best park in all of Davis. Since the neighborhood is wealthy, there was more money and thoughtfullness put into the park's development. There is exercise equipment interspersed, an excellent community pool, quality playgrounds, multiple walking and biking paths, spacious landscapes, etc.
Arroyo Park is an absolute joy to walk! Well maintained pathways of asphalt, manicured lawns for playing soccer, Cricket, tossing a ball to your kid, plus they have exercise equipment along the pathways. Safe to jog, ride a bike or take an evening stroll.
This is such a nice park. We like that there's a toddler playground and an older kid playground. There's huge fields for play and protection from the street. I also really like the path surrounded by local plants, the air just smelled really nice.
