Confirmed from Brigantino 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.
Unimproved open space with a mile-long track and picnic tables, suitable for dog walking.
What runners say about Brigantino Park
“A lot of people walk their dogs here and even though there are signs requesting you clean up after your dog, there was a lot of dog poop right along the trail.”
“Recommend this park for dogs that like to walk their humans 😉”
The park is great, the dirt track is a little over a mile around the park and there is tons of open space in the middle. I love bringing my dogs here to walk. The only problem is other dog owners. It is not a dog park, but there is one in hollister.
I love this park, pets friendly. I come here twice a week for a quick run, a whole lap is a little over a mile, parking lot big enough and spacious, there are restrooms all over the park so that’s a good thing.
First time experience the walk through the grass has lots of big holes and saw a lots of poop that was not picked up considering they have doggy bags to dispose the poop. The walk around the grassy fields was nice possibly a mile or mile and a half walk.
Big fields on two levels of many acres. The lower level is a lush lawn and the upper is more of a weedy field. Off-leash, well-behaved dogs are often seen accompanying owners. Just as many are leashed up. It is usually sparsely occupied.
Trail conditions & character
“Be careful with your dogs though and DON'T let them roam off leash at any time as mountain lions/cougars have been known to frequent the area and there have been sightings.”
