Confirmed from Hidden Lakes 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.
Large park offering baseball fields, soccer courts, playgrounds, hiking trails and hills.
What runners say about Hidden Lakes Park
“Beautiful sights and full embrace of Martinez nature.”
“Lots of dogs and their owners going for walks,so it's a great place to socialize your dogs.”
A very nice park. Usually, I personally think a lot of parks in Diablo Valley area are too small, but this is a good size and it's connected to Hidden Valley park. On a nice sunny day there's lots of people around the picnic area, playground and the soccer field.
Big space to play and walk. Soccer and baseball field. Play structures. Be weary there are 2 sides of this park. Be cautious on hiking around. Beautiful sights and full embrace of Martinez nature. Update: still spacious and beautiful. Updated bathrooms are a plus. Some trails cause more strain than others.
Place is good for what we went there for: walking or a short hike. Lots of trails to follow, and we found the lakes shown on the map ... not too hidden afterall!!🤗😉 Adding the cool and sunny weather made it just perfect!
This park is the perfect sport activity spot! Baseball fields, a soccer field with track around it, volleyball sand court area (bring your own net though). They have a basketball court area as well but the hoops aren't on right now unfortunately. They have a small playground and a climbing playground. Love to hike?
