Confirmed from Moller 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.
Leafy neighborhood park & historical gold-panning site with a playground, BBQ pit & picnic tables.
What runners say about Moller Park
“Beautiful dog-friendly park with a nice paved walking loop and a large grassy area.”
“Lots of large trees - redwoods and oaks - that give nice shade on hot days.”
This is nice newly remodeled 2026 playground at a community park. It is tucked away in a neighborhood and offers large grass areas to play on, a fun but smaller sized new playground, and a probably appropriate half mile circle walking path around.
A modestly sized community park with an emphasis on open green space. The park straddles a wooded creek, but there is a stark border and everything else is highly manicured. Letting the wood have just a bit more of the park would greatly improve the aesthetic.
Beautiful park with lots of friendly people playing and walking there dogs. All around great atmosphere if your worn your family or alone!
Nice park with small playground and creek running through it. Has large unmarked grass field
