Confirmed from Eucalyptus 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.
Neighborhood leisure area with a skate park & basketball courts, plus a playground & a shallow pool.
What runners say about Eucalyptus Park
“Park because kept clean I don't see vagrants hanging around so I'm safe too feel comfortable”
Place packs a punch into a smaller park making it feel big... Skate ok, full basketball court, playground, field for practice, bathrooms, covered picnic area, splash pool, soft grass under the shielding trees Bonus: 7/11 across street Part of our walk while we're here
Visiting from out of state and loved having this park nearby to go on a walk. Very clean and nice colors to the park that make it look welcoming and vibrant. They have a playground, basketball court, shallow pool (drained for the winter obviously), a skate park.
Nice open space with jogging trail, skate park, bball courts, field, and exercise stations. I just wish the kids area didn't have those black rubber pellets
Trail conditions & character
“The only thing was the bathrooms weren't all that clean but then again it was way later in the day as well.”
