Confirmed from Citrus Ranch 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.
Park with a lemon orchard, a playground, picnic areas with grills & a hilltop gazebo with views.

“The citrus grove and hilltop views make it super unique, and the playground is great for kids of all ages.”
Enjoyed walking among all the lemon trees and it’s such an easy park to get in and out.
A nice park with walking trail and kids play area. You get to see lot of lemon trees on way to the view point. From The view point , you get a good view of Mt. Baldy and the golf course. Family friendly place with restrooms.
900 lemon trees, dirt trail (which i like much better than cement) beautiful views. We love this park. Not any tree cover as the lemon trees aren’t tall, so we don’t come when it’s hot in direct sun, but lovely morning/evening walks.
Love visiting the citrus garden, great place for a nice walk. Nice thing to do with the family. Small shaded area to sit or do a picnic. Lots of lemons!
