Confirmed from Arroyo Park Trail'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 Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (17 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is a great place to exercise, walk your pet. I myself use it to dance at. It's close to home. When things are heated up. That's where i run. I put my ear phones on and get lost in the sound of my music. Most every weekend you will find a youths game going on. The greens are always kept up.
