Confirmed from Fairwood 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.
Public park adjacent to a school offering a playground, bike path, sand volleyball court & more.
What runners say about Fairwood Park
It is a nice place for kids. Large play area, with volley ball and other activities. There are tennis courts around it as well. There is a nice trail close by if you would like to take a walk.
Beautiful Park, have been going here for the past 10 years ever since moving to Sunnyvale! Giant grass fields which are perfect for any activities such as fitness. There are two playgrounds with an outdoor gym which are very nice along with a trail to stroll around on, and a dirt area which is perfect for RC cars!
Has a part course and tennis courts for adults with barbecue and picnic area, also Sand volleyball court and playground for kids. Has area where adults and kids can play soccer. Has jogging/ walking/ bike path also. It is a very nice park and is well used by the community.
Cool park that doubles as a bike path connecting a south branch of the Bay Trail Bicycle Path down to Sunnyvale 🌞 Looks like the park has playgrounds, workout equipment, soccer field and tennis courts. Not sure about bathrooms
