Confirmed from Goetz 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.

I have a full walk through video of the skate park on YouTube titled “Skating with locals at the NEW Parris California skatepark at Goatz Park (FULL WALKTHROUGH 2020)” check it out 🤙

Clean, peaceful and shaded park. Soap and toilet paper!! Yes!! No others were not masked but we were!!

★★★★★ — Ellie , Mar 2021

It's a really nice park one of the few that are shaded around us which work out perfectly for the summer time. Also very well-kept bathrooms could use a touch-up and maybe some more hand soap to be filled up and definitely need some toilet seat covers other than that the spark is really nice one that I prefer

★★★★☆ — Kat , Jul 2018

My boys enjoyed this skate park, There's also a big open area for pets to enjoy, a fountain that has a dog fountain for furry friends. There is a playground close by, and there is a wide sidewalk that goes around the whole park if you like jogging, riding your bike, or roller blading.

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.
