Confirmed from Kathryn Abbey Hanna 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.
Park offering surfing & swimming in the ocean plus fishing & boating in a lake, as well as hiking.
What runners say about Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park
“Good paths, handicapped access, pavillions, hiking and dedicated biking trails, campgrounds (primitive and camper), well maintained.”
“most of the site were shaded overhead.”
“Downfall would be our camp host/ ranger definitely did not make campers adhere to "quiet" time after 10 the first 2 nights.”
This RV park has so much to offer, especially for the low price per night. There is a large saltwater lake on one side and a very short walk to the ocean on the other. The hiking trails are amazing offering miles of hikes or bike trails.
Hanna Park is a great City park with many things to do. My wife and I enjoy camping there. I ride mountain bikes on the trails, we hike, go to the beach, and ride bikes on the paved roads. There are playgrounds available for children and a small water play area as well.
Perfect, quieter beach with plenty of room to breathe. Good paths, handicapped access, pavillions, hiking and dedicated biking trails, campgrounds (primitive and camper), well maintained. Pay to enter, resident permits available, park map available.
Nice campground. A lot of spaces to rent. Over all our visit was good. Downfall would be our camp host/ ranger definitely did not make campers adhere to "quiet" time after 10 the first 2 nights. Our neighbors left after the 2nd night of the partying and smoking, third night was peaceful and enjoyable.
