Confirmed from Benicia Community 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.
City park offering soccer & baseball fields, a skateboard area, picnic tables & facilities.
What runners say about Benicia Community Park
“Last if you're a hiker there's a beautiful trail down to the lake and back.”
This is one of those Park that has a secret place that is tuck away in the back. There is a trail that is off to the back that leads to a beautiful lake. It is breath taken. Look at the pictures. There's plenty for the family.
Beautiful park with great areas for children and toddlers to play. Giant slide big enough for parents to go down with their babies. Also a hiking trail that leads to a senic little lake. Soccer field & baseball field, this park has a little bit of everything!
This is a really great park. There is a nice walking path, beautiful fields and a great playground. Most people are following social distancing rules which is great. Locals call this park the Big Slide park because of the big concrete slide which is the best part of the park.
