Confirmed from Blackie's Pasture'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.
Scenic waterfront park featuring grassy fields, a playground & paths for walking & biking.

I enjoyed the trail. It is 2.8 miles to downtown and there are several dining choices including waterfront restaurants. I started in the parking lot where the horse sculpture of Blackie is. It is free parking. You can bike or walk it.
I run this park. It's very nice view & smells good like ocean sense plus fresh air. There is public restrooms is useful for wash hands. And soccer field is nice and doing stretches. You can take nice photography of view of city.
Great place for your dogs to run for the ball as it is wide and open. Off leash friendly, however not securely fenced in, so don't let your dog off leash if their recall isn't good. Lots of friendly dogs and their owners. Good for kids too as they love the statue of the horse blackie.
Blackie's Pasture is part of the trailhead to walking path. There are benches, dog friendly park, beaches, and picnic tables. The scenery is fantastic. Located in Tiburon, right on the bay. Great place for boating, taking pictures, and cool breezes.
