Confirmed from Freedom 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.
Green space featuring a stretch of grass for play or dog walking, plus exercise.
What runners say about Freedom Park
This is a good park but not a great park; it'll get the job done though. Quiet from the beach and not loud from LAX (but you can hear the planes); the powerlines above do crackle and buzz but wasn't loud enough to be a distraction from reading a book.
A nice stretch of grass that runs thru the city. Safe place for kids, good place to exercise or walk your dog. Nothing fancy, just a cool spot to be.
a small park, a few picnic benches placed along a path. the perfect park for somewhere to eat on ur lunch break.
