Confirmed from Lower Entrance | Stulsaft 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.
Woodland area, popular with dog walkers, plus a playground and picnic tables.
What runners say about Lower Entrance | Stulsaft Park
“Very nice shaded area for parties, sand areas for treasure hunts, and lots of playground equipment.”
“My dog loved the off-leash freedom I was running with other dogs and playing in the stream.”
I love this park. Lots of bag stations, trails are well maintained (though this winter did some yet to be repaired damage). Off leash areas, drinking fountains, picnic tables and more!
Fun place to let your dogs explore nature. Every dog we encountered was friendly and playful. The dog area is large enough to have alone time with your pets. They can enjoy the creek, jump in the leaves, run or just plain dig. My 2 small dogs left happy and tired.
Nice park in a Redwood City residential neighborhood which allows off leashed dogs. Pleasant creek that runs thru it and plenty of shady trees to cool off under. Restroom is located up the hill where the fenced area is and picnic benches. Be sure to read the signs and enjoy your walk/ hike.
What a fun park! It so hard to find nice places to hike with your dog off leash (close by) and this is a very nice option. People are friendly, dogs are adorable. It is actual trails with trees, bushes, bugs and water so expect a real walk, dirt and all. Fun!
