Confirmed from Mariner 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.
Tranquil lawned field with a playground, a bayfront bench and space to walk or jog.
What runners say about Mariner Park
“I walked through a small public space between two houses and suddenly a beautiful view appeared in front of me.”
“Great place for quite walk or jog along Bay shore.”
“A peaceful park next to a long path along the lagoon.”
I found this park in an accident. I walked through a small public space between two houses and suddenly a beautiful view appeared in front of me. Brought my family and friends for a hiking there in the weekend. It is quiet and beautiful. I saw people fishing there and cought a small tiger shark.
Big open space with some street parking , large grassy field, access to SF Bay Trail along the shoreline with a bench for taking in views of the slough and bay. Memorial bench in the center of the park under some trees. No bathrooms, use nearby Marlin Park for that. Quiet space with not too many people.
A peaceful park next to a long path along the lagoon. Good for sitting and enjoy the weather or walk, run on the path.
