We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Eaton Park Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Eaton Park Trailhead
Amazing views and steep trails for a workout. Lots of dogs. Small amount of room for a Onewheel to ride around on.
Small park in a residential neighborhood. Finding the trailhead may be difficult as it's sandwiched between two private homes (looks like an alley). After 100 yards, the trail opens into the hills with great views of the Bay.
Love this park. Looks like there are couples of entry points. We took the one from Loma Road. You park on the street and enter the park by crossing and going through a space between 2 properties. It has a small sign of Eaton Park. Once you are in, you can see the park is behind the house backyard.
