Confirmed from Ceres River Bluff Regional 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.
76-acre park with 5 soccer fields & 2 softball fields, plus a basketball & a volleyball court.
What runners say about Ceres River Bluff Regional Park
“Came here for a hot air balloon race and the park is extremely clean, very well kept and has a ton of room for the event that was held here with the vendors.”
“I don't know who's running cetes but this park is absolutely beautiful they did a really really good job it could be a little more handicap friendly but it's beautiful”
Quiet walks. soccer fields. Fishing. Walk the dog🔥🔥 Fishing area is open again more parking and river access.
Beautiful walks around the lake and views of the river. Plenty of seats and benches to stop and rest or talk to others who are walking their dogs or with their family. Beautiful scenery and cameras everywhere for safety purposes.
Absolutely a little hidden gem, it could be cleaner but it's still a really nice place to go for a walk or so.
Clean kept walking trail surrounded by nature! If you mind your manners you'll see all kinds of critters that share our beloved outdoors with us! Please... leave the geese alone! And keep dogs leashed and picked up after. Dogs have a built in "chase" feature and this isn't your backyard.
