Confirmed from Etta Turner 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.
Park with picnic tables situated on the waterfront within Westbay Center, offering opportunities for walking.
What runners say about Etta Turner Park
“A beautiful place to watch the bay , meet my grandson there couple of times a week.”
I usually come down here and do my walk around the water and it's peaceful it's a nice place you can walk your dogs or you can take your kids for a walk you can walk or you can go running and on top of that when you go to the past you have different seats where you can sit down and enjoy the view and look over the…
This is not really a park. It's more like a boardwalk. Great for roller blading, bike riding, and walks with your puppy. Come watch the birds and enjoy the cool breeze. And don't forget to check all the local restaurants and stores as you walk by.
Such an awesome walk. The Bridge and the geocache there is really cool and the view is so beautiful. There are sea otters that come in and out there and you can sit at the table during summer or the park bench and just watch the beautiful sunsets! Connected to an awesome walking trail!
Very very nice new addition to the path by the hotel and apartment complex. I took my dog there and she loves it. Only concern is the amount of, what I assume to be, goose poop on the path... There's a lot. Maybe it should be cleaned a little more. It's a wonderful place and I hope it gets keep looking beautiful!
