Confirmed from Las Palmas 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.
24-acre tiki-themed park with a playground, water features, a dog run, tennis courts & bathrooms.
What runners say about Las Palmas Park
“If the grass was clean it would have been wonderful to walk on the grass bare foot but as animals are allowed one can never be sure what they might step on.”
“Las Palmas Park is a stunning outdoor haven that offers a delightful experience for all visitors.”
“More green grass than you know what to do with, more play areas, with sand pits, for kids to keep them busy, and loads of shade for you to picnic.”
Pretty amazing park. You can tell the city put a lot of money into it and a lot of planning to make it a park of many flavors. You have a 2-8 yr old park that is surrounded by a fence and has a door that would only be accessible to a parent.
Las Palmas Park is a stunning outdoor haven that offers a delightful experience for all visitors. With its ample sunlit spaces, it's an excellent spot to bask in the sun and get a healthy dose of Vitamin D while enjoying activities like jogging, walking, and running along the well-maintained pathways.
Very clean park. Ideal for walk and relaxation. Benches for any light work besides having views from the little pond and greenery all around. The small pond in the middle with tall trees make it more serene. Good for small get togethers,picnics,birthdays
The park is huge...with greenery all around...looks scenic ...it's great for a long walk...went in the afternoon no expecting it to have a lot of people but found a lot of parked cars and people with kids and pets.
