Confirmed from Live Oak 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.
This park offers a range of sports facilities, BBQ pits, restrooms, on-site parking & walking paths.
What runners say about Live Oak Park
“Very clean local neighborhood park.”
We were looking for a good park to play tennis in Tulare and we found this park. It has a lot of parking spaces and the play grounds are in the middle of the park far away from the main street. The tennis courts are well-taken care of and the park is in a nice condition.
I enjoy walking and jogging the hills here great for bird watching walking horseshoe pit volleyball net picnic tables baseball field and even soccer goal posts.
IT WAS "VERY" FUN & RELAXING WITH MY FAMILY ALSO CLEAN AND THE WALIKNG TRAIL IS NEAR ENDLESS IN EITHER DIRECTION WE HAVE A PARK DIRECTLY ACROSS TJE STREET FROM MY HOUSE 50 FEET AWAY MAYBE AND WE DROVE TO LIVE OAK JUST FOR THE PARK & TRAIL'S.. LOVE IT!!!!!
So many concrete trails to walk my dog. I noticed a playground for 2 to 5 year olds. There were lots of picnic tables all over. And ride along side of it there is the Tulare Santa Fe trail.
