Confirmed from Edna 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.
Waterfront park, popular for cycling, that features a children's play area.
What runners say about Edna Park
I nice place to stop when taking a ride on the Santa Ana Riverbed Trail (SART). It is about half way of the ride I usually take. It is not a huge park but it is very nice. Somewhere near mile marker 10 (that many miles to the end of the trail in Huntington Beach.
@Azlan.thebraveheart (IG) loves this place because it's perfectly situated on the bike path.
Beautiful Park, nice place to walk, jog or simply relax enjoying the views.
A bit crowded with kids and parents playing on the playground. This was our starting point for bike ride to the beach and back. Took us about 2.5 hours. Totally worth it. Recommend to wear mask as many do not. Also, bring plenty of electrolytes! We saw dance crew practicing in the empty Santa Ana riverbed.
Trail conditions & character
“UPDATE: I recommend using this park as a rest point as it has several benches, trees, and bathrooms.”
“It has parking, a couple picnic tables, a couple shade spots, and a lot of bike racks.”
