Confirmed from Hansen 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.

“Pretty quiet park in a neighborhood close to contra loma, usually cleanish.”

Nice park in Antioch on Hansen Dr. Good place for walking the dogs. There is a restroom and a play structure for the kids. There is a picnic area with benches etc. You can see nice view of Black Diamond Preserve from here. There are mostly street parking available.

It was clean!! I guess no too many people know about this park or it would be destroy like most of the city's park. Needs more tree for shade but overall, nice park. I can tell the neighbors care about their park.

★★★★☆ — Maria , Jun 2019

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.
