Confirmed from Cabezon 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 with an outdoor swimming pool, community center, football field, playgrounds & gazebos.

Nice safe park for a leisurely walk. Lots of dogs as there is a dog park. It's also clean and grassy for the kids to enjoy playing. And nice picnic tables to sit down and rest.
Cabezon Park is the best park for so many family and public things They have craft fairs Kids sports And most of all Pokemon gatherings for walks and events
Always a pleasure. The pups absolutely love a big huge grassy area to run in
Beautiful medium sized park, nice sized/layout parking, shade, picnic tables, playground, dog park with two fenced areas... big enough for the doggies to get a good stretch ☀️ I'm not sure if there are any restroom facilities. I was here to complete a marketplace transaction.
