Confirmed from Iron Horse 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.
Peaceful park with a bench and picnic tables beside an airport, offering views of planes.
What runners say about Iron Horse Park
“This place is very peaceful was talking on the phone to a friend about a job site upcoming working project.”
This park is in Concord. It us right alongside the Iron horse trail. The iron horse trail starts at this point and goes south towards Pleasant Hill and goes beyond. The trail is good for a nice stroll and also for running. I would recommend running in the morning since there will be shade in the trail.
Really small park with the really long walking trail. How was your end table in a small open field with the drinking water access.
