Confirmed from Martha McLean-Anza Narrows 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.
Open space on the Santa Ana River with jogging & biking trails & areas for picnicking.
What runners say about Martha McLean-Anza Narrows Park
“We have a truly unique, fun, well-maintained home disc golf course right here in Riverside.”
“A beautiful large park with an amazing frisbee golf course with views of the Santa Ana river and snow capped mountains and old historic railroad bridge across the river.”
We went for the first time last weekend. It was really nice and had nice views. We walked on the trail a little bit too. Hope to come back with our bikes.
It's a nice park full of families people biking walking and jogging. Car meet ups,people playing frisbee and golf.There is the occasional homebum walking about but that's to be expected being so near the rivers edge.
The park is unique in more than one accept. One: The riverside river runs through it. that adds a dynamic feature of water sound and motion that complements the other life-full features of the park. Two: The train passes adjacent to the park, crossing over a beautiful, massive masonry overhead bridge.
The best hidden gem in Cali!!! White sand beaches for MILES!! bamboo growing out of the water, and endless islands to explore!
