Confirmed from Blacow 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.
Neighborhood park, with a playground, picnic tables, and a basketball court.
What runners say about Blacow Park
“Pretty good size park next to blacow elementary and well maintained.”
One of the public park in Fremont, California. It's beautiful & very clean. There are many very unique tall and thick pine trees. Aalways people there walking or running. Sometimes even groups of young people playing sports and games there.
Great little neighborhood park. Paved walking path. 4 laps=mile. No bathroom facilities or water. Nice play structure for kids, picnic tables, large open grassy area.
A wide concrete walking path surrounded by green grass. There is a playground. The park is next to Blacow Elementary school. This park is never very busy. A great place to walk.
Great park with a nice trail around it. It is very clean and well maintained. Kids play area is relatively small. Just loved this park for its greenery.
