Confirmed from Laguna Grande Park, Seaside, Ca'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.
City park with a lake, picnic tables, playground, and BBQ grills, plus fields for sports.
What runners say about Laguna Grande Park, Seaside, Ca
“Of course, there are kids playing, clean, sturdy equipment, grassy area, and clean ( for the most part) bathrooms - easily accessible.”
“There’s a beautiful view of the lake and a trail that surrounds it that takes about an hour.”
Peaceful walk after a rain. Lots of ducks & waterfowl . Beautiful sunrises against the Blue Monterey Bay.
Excellent park for kids. Large grassy area for pickup football or soccer games. Full playground available, as well as grills. There’s a beautiful view of the lake and a trail that surrounds it that takes about an hour.
This playground is open and has working bathrooms! Fairly small, so you can supervise your kid from one spot. Located in a nice area, we like to walk around the lake and have a snack at the In&Out Burger.
Fun tower to play on, set along side a large open space & walking path with a tidal estuary. Came her many times to enjoy the diverse crowd.
