We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Los Rios Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Los Rios Park
“Beautiful park in the historic area with open space, native plants, picnic areas, and a playground.”
It's a small park with a dirt parking lot that is very dusty. Parking is free, the bathrooms were well-maintained, and it's close to a bike trail. At night, it's a bit too dark and I wish there were more lights.
