Confirmed from Las Juntas Open Space'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.
Park featuring a trail and benches, suitable for children.
What runners say about Las Juntas Open Space
“Not intended to stop and spend spend some time there, but a great view and place to rest and get some pictures of Mt.”
Just a bit of land next to the canal that no one has built on. Small with no amenitites but nice. There are a couple of picnic tables and fire pits. There is a nice bench that gives you a great view of Mount Diablo. It's a great place to stop during a walk at night.
Great little stop on the canal trail with benches and a water spout for dog water dishes. Once you get to the top, there is fairly nice view of the nearby area. Definitely recommend for those going for a walk or run on the nearby trail.
Pretty Nice small park with a bench. Not intended to stop and spend spend some time there, but a great view and place to rest and get some pictures of Mt. Diablo along the Contra Costa canal trail.
Very small trail/open space off the canal. It’s cute and has a little elevated spot with a nice view. NOT A PARK. Just a sweet spot for a short walk.
