Confirmed from Craig 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.
124-acre recreational park with biking, hiking & picnicking, plus hills, a rose garden & a lake.

“The Park is large, beautiful and very peaceful.”
“Great place for picnics, barbecues, dog walking.”
I absolutely love this park. You have to pay $3 but it's well worth it because there is plenty of space to venture around with loved ones. Its great for walking and getting some cardio too as there are inclines and declines everywhere.
The Park has just about everything for everyone and is also a sanctuary for local and migratory geese, ducks, rails and many other birds! Upon entering, park goers can pay parking fees and get info from the park attendants. Those who opt to walk in, may do so, free of charge.
Great park for taking a walk or walking your dogs. Soft hills to challenge your walk and off-road walking paths as well. Some water features at this park and plenty of green grass to veer off to, just watch out for duck/geese poops. Picnic areas and baseball fields too. Clean bathrooms.
It was great day we visited Brea! We enjoyed walking in Craig Regional Park, my daughter had good time playing in kids play area. Car single entry on Saturday - Sunday $5, rest other days $1. Nicely maintained park with lots of parking at different locations. Lot's of picnic tables with advanced reservations.
