Confirmed from Guenser 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, family-friendly space with a playground and basketball and baseball fields.
What runners say about Guenser Park
“It's a very nice park that is hidden inside a nice quiet neighborhood.”
It's in middle of a neighborhood on the north east corner of Torrance. I've lived in this neighborhood during middle and high schools. My brother and I used to play basketball and baseball here, but there are people playing soccer on the other side of the park as well.
I remember going to this park back in 2004 17 years ago while I was briefly a student in 5th grade at Arlington Elementary. Walking trail. The open field for everything including stargazing. I recently went here to watch the final Super Moon of 2021 & was the Strawberry Moon. What an amazing sight it was.
Nice simple Park. Has Baseball field, swings, slide, basketball court & nice size pathway for running and walking, one bbq gril and a few tables. Nice place to bring dogs, located in a nice neighborhood where everyone is very Vigilant. Have to park on the street. There's no inside parking.
Decent park in a residential neighborhood. Love the green space and running trail. Grass needs upkeep and landscaping. Playground is kid approved with varying play areas. Picnic area is standard with a handful of large tables and seats around trees.
Trail conditions & character
“There is a restroom in the park, and BBQ grills for parties.”
“Very relaxing, nice shade trees and plenty of benches yet not too crowded.”
“I would recommend not parking your car near the field since a ball could smash your window!”
“There is a path that circles around half of the park, which I would guess is about a quarter of a mile, where joggers jog and dogs walk their human.”
