Confirmed from Crossbow 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.
Relaxed park featuring a basketball court and a playground with a Ninja Warrior-style course.
What runners say about Crossbow Park
“The park is clean, moreover it has small picnic table for bbq and playground for little kids and big fields to play football or soccer.”
“The playground has benches around it and it's shaded with a colorful canopy.”
There is no off-street parking, so you just have to park along the curb. When you first park, there is a grassy field to the right. It's not really like a soccer field as there are no nets set up; however, you can run or walk back and forth for exercise. Grass was neatly mowed and clean.
Great little park along the canal trail. There is another park on the other side of the canal and it's fun to go back and forth between them.
Great Park. Much bigger than you think at first. Narrow and long. Long walking trail. You can continue at the canal if you want.
We stay in the neighborhood and visit this park frequently. There is another City park adjacent to it, separated by canal and paseo trail. There is a basketball , volleyball court huge ground for running around or football/soccer.
