Confirmed from Kotate 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.
Small neighborhood park featuring 2 playgrounds, swings, slides and a picnic area.
What runners say about Kotate Park
“It looks like a typical neighborhood park in suburbia (since it is), but there is a variety of picnic tables, a gazebo, a playground that looks well maintained, and restrooms.”
This park has walking paths, picnic tables, bathrooms, playgrounds, and a large lawn area. Dogs are welcome on leash only, but if you're looking for a off leash park check out Putnam Park off of Myrtle Ave or Benicia Park off of Bernice Ave in the area.
