Confirmed from Frank Klauer Memorial 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.

“Safe family friendly park, some fun stuff, pretty good for Hollister though there are funner parks.”

The park is a pretty big itself ! It has a track around the whole park where you can walk on it , go on a jog on it, go on your bicycle , scooter , skateboard , etc. Or electric toy. It has a very big open green heathy field . You can play sports here or you can do all the imagineable. It’s fairly big.

★★★★★ — Joshua , Mar 2025

Nice small residential park. Has 2 covered picnic tables now w lots of lawn area to play toss, frisbee or fly kites. Paved area around the small & big combined play structures making it a gd walking/riding bikes, scooters etc around yet be within view of the parents.

★★★★☆ — Stephanie , Jan 2018

Our neighborhood park. It's the best in town for littles. Good amount of shade. Only downfall is there is no bathroom. And sometimes it gets tagged or beat up by older kids at night and the clean up is delayed by the city. But overall, best park for your little ones.

★★★★☆ — Jill , May 2023

A great little park that has just been updated from the rotten, black tire chips to soft, squishy play turf. Hooray! There's also a great walking loop that's a little over a 1/4 mile.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

“The only downside for me is theres no bathrooms & they removed the tanbark for tire bark.”
