Confirmed from Manzanita 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.
What runners say about Manzanita Park
“This is a lovely quiet park with trails, usually not at all busy with people.”
Unadorned park, almost, except for the horse poop. Short trail loop with what looks like old obstacles (see pictures). Right next to horse club so you see that along the way. You can hear the traffic from 305, so it's not a quiet trail. There are no restrooms. It is a dirt (or mud depending on the season) trail.
120 acre park with diverse vegetation and some nice trails. Used heavily for equestrian purposes, but also a nice place to go on foot. Always something interesting to see.
I didn't go too far into the trail, but it was nice and wooded where I did. Gravel road leading into it and plenty of turnaround spots to pull over if needed. A couple businesses have access to this trail from their lots.
Fun for a quick walk, long walk, dog walk, running, jogging, etc. I've been going since I was small. Always loved it. Be ready to get muddy most days
