Confirmed from Bartlett 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.
Kid-friendly park featuring a gravel trail, plus a habitat for migratory birds and other animals.
What runners say about Bartlett Park
“Come help keep it clean Saturday April 26, 2025”
“A walk through the beautiful park in the early morning is a great way to start ones day.”
“If you need the outdoors and can’t quite make it out of the HB area, this is a quick place to get to and have a quiet walk among the birds and wild fauna mostly by the stream area.”
“It's just sad I get spooked every time I walk my dog there by some lowlife in the bushes.”
Beautiful space to walk. Feels like you are far away from the city even though it's right in the middle of Huntington Beach! Lots of ground squirrels and birds.
It's quite beautiful in the Spring.. It's just sad I get spooked every time I walk my dog there by some lowlife in the bushes.
A great place to walk your dog just stand the trail and watch for other Little critters running by. Best to do before dark.

- At the trailheadparking, restrooms, water — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
