Confirmed from King 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.

What runners say about King Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (206 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 9 mentions

“The only negative is that people often don't clean up after their dogs so that's been an annoyance when you or your dogs step in feces.”

🌳 shaded & cool 7 mentions

“As a guest they all like to his location because it has a lot of shade (tree's) & great sitting arrangements for everyone to sit.”

🐕 dog-walking favorite 4 mentions

“Rating high as the people that visit this park with their dogs are very friendly and amaze me as they remember all the dogs by name.”

Rating high as the people that visit this park with their dogs are very friendly and amaze me as they remember all the dogs by name. Our dog loves to run here as there’s just enough amount of space to run on grass then onto sandy area and back. There’s also some shady areas to sit during hot summer days.

I was visiting my brother in Brentwood & he invited me to the dog park. All dogs were amazing! Every owner knew each other & if not they introduced themselves & their dog. As a guest they all like to his location because it has a lot of shade (tree's) & great sitting arrangements for everyone to sit.

We LOVE this park. The folks that come here are really responsible with their dogs. They have a few pieces of agility equipment, a very large big dog area, real grass coupled with turf, dog-parent benches in the shade, a water fountain and a few bowls, and folks donate toys and balls!!

★★★★★ — Lizzie , Jun 2016

Great walkable park, well lit at night. Nice wide paths. Perfect for walking the dog.

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.
