Confirmed from Linda Lane 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.
City park featuring a fish-themed playground, green spaces, seating areas & more.

Great place for beginners who want to learn surfing. Great private area along the beach during the year that doesn't get too crowded. San Clemente is our 2nd home from Littleton,CO, and this is one of our favorite places along the San Clemente Trail.
Fantastic locals only feel park. Great place to take the kids. Great playground and walking distance from the beach. Parking is free after 5pm. Growing up in Southern California, there are few beaches that impress me, but this beach is amazing.
