Confirmed from Evergreen 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.
Relaxed park featuring tennis courts, a disc golf course, and grassy areas.
What runners say about Evergreen Park
Evergreen Park has a challenging disc golf course, the best in the county. It also has tennis courts, playing fields and a newer children's playground. I walk around the park several times a week, being careful to not impede the disc golf players. I'm beginning to practice disc golf myself...it looks like so much fun!
Evergreen is a fairly large, very nice park. There are tennis courts, a challenging disc golf course, lots of grassy areas to run in, quite a bit of forested area and a mediocre kids play equipment area. There are porta-potties scattered around the park, sometimes clean and sometimes, not so much...
The best 18 hole frolf course in all of California. Also has nice playground for kids rebuilt in late 2012 and you can enjoy a cold beer while playing frolf , baseball or tennis or just take a long walk with your dog on leash.
Solid 18 hole free disc golf. Nice variety but a little tight with many holes crossing each other's paths. Grounds are pretty well maintained.
