Confirmed from Coastal Peak 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.
Ball fields with bleachers, a playground & other amenities offered at a park with panoramic views.
What runners say about Coastal Peak Park
“Always enjoy the mix of trails and great views from this park.”
Very busy on weekends. They have baseball, softball and soccer leagues all happening at the same time, so there's never enough parking. They hiking trails here are also extremely popular for hikers, campers and bikes. Best to either arrive early or come after the sports leagues are done in the afternoon.
Great playground with covered gazebos and nice clean restroom. Easy parking on the streets. Easy access as well. We got a nice workout there 💪 Update: so many trails up and down!! Pick your distance!! 3.5-mile loop with great views and great hills!!!
We have been coming to this Park Since 2009. Back then barely anyone knew about it or would go. Now it's really popular and gets packed.We mostly park on the street then go hiking on the trails. Nice for mountain biking and hiking mainly. It's really nice they also have baseball fields, basketball and picnic areas.
Killer bike hike and drone spot. Dong forget your water and be ready for a workout its hills hills and more hills. Or u can venture all the way down to pch on old jeep trail. Be careful If u do and take tools if on a bike. Its a gnarly rough but fun and fast yet long trail. 2800 feet of downhill with curves.
