Confirmed from East La Loma 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.
Tree-lined city park offering basketball & tennis courts, disc golf, trails & a playground.
What runners say about East La Loma Park
“I hope the toilet is kept clean though.”
Great place to spend family picnic and go around with your bike. I hope the toilet is kept clean though. There are small and long trails.
LOVE taking my cats for a walk. The view is amazing. There is alot of kitties and its safe to take your kids, the park is really big, but well taken care of. Restrooms are always open and enough space to go run and exercise.
Beautiful Saturday. Nice path and the vibes were friendly. It does get crowded with parking but it was worth it with my family and I! Also very clean as well.
Visited this park several times in recent months. Great place to chill under a shady tree, take a walk, have a picnic, go for a bike ride or let the kids loose on the playground. Plenty of parking. There's also tennis, basketball and frisbee golf courts.
Trail conditions & character
“Bathrooms and water fountains by the bathrooms and the barbecue pit.”
“There is 6 miles paved biking trail that runs from downtown Modesto all the way to Claus road and for extreme biking there is dirt trails that ride alongside the pave trails.”
“Early mornings and dusk is the most active time there's 4-6 other entrance along the park with parking.”
“most important, I felt safe, with just myself & my dog!”
“The trail is paved, and from the pavilion to just past the water fountain is the turnaround for the three mile 5k run.”
