Confirmed from La Puerta Sports 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.
Baseball and softball park with playgrounds, dog-friendly areas, shade trees, and mountain views.
What runners say about La Puerta Sports Park
“Large, nicely maintained natural grass fields, bordered by large shade trees.”
“It is a beautiful expansive park with soccer goals and huge ground level variances that create a wonderful park to test and practice hang-gliders!”
“Large, nicely maintained natural grass fields, bordered by large shade trees.”
This park is an all sport park with soccer and baseball fields. Very awesome for family and friends. Right by the mountains in a very peaceful community of Claremont. I love running at this park. Somewhere to also get alone with your thoughts.
Even on a Saturday, there was parking to be found, although the parking lot is not huge. Well-stocked bathrooms. Large, nicely maintained natural grass fields, bordered by large shade trees. The park is very green.
The area is completely fenced in. This is a safe space to train your dog. Since my dog is trained to stay within 20 feet of me, I can let her run off energy.
