Confirmed from Kathryn Gorman Ponds 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.

“Perfect if you're looking for somewhere quiet to walk, as it is never full.”

Nice, short hiking spot. No restrooms, limited parking available. A beautiful location for hiking with dogs.

★★★★☆ — Shlomi , Apr 2025

This park is a beautiful quiet Local park. Perfect for a lovely walk with the family or to just enjoy a breath of fresh air. It's not a kids park, they have 2 ponda and no gates are anything around them. There is a gazebo with benches facing one of the ponds.

★★★★★ — Yitzi , Nov 2022

A park in Montebello with few walking trails. It’s small but beautiful nature with trees marked as what kind of tree, ferns etc. They need to add a few more garbage cans to the end of the trail, as there are so many people walking their dogs or eating there.

★★★★☆ — Sharon , Aug 2021

This is a beautiful community park that is a great place to go for a walk any time of the year. There are some nice trails through the forests and around the ponds. Lots of birds and turtles.

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.

“Nice lovely neighborhood park, with convenient walkways, picnic tables, sizable gazebo overlooking a nice pond & a little bonus of signage outlining local floral, fauna & birds.”
