Confirmed from Monterey 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 Monterey Park
“They've updated the playgrounds and they do a good job of keeping the grass trimmed and bathrooms clean.”
Great little park. Green grass, green trees, clean. Equipment for smaller kids, but my guys, 10 and under wore themselves out running around. One of the nicest small dog parks I've seen. Older kids playing basketball until dusk ... not one word of profanity while we were there. Fresh air, nice breeze, ...
Beautiful dog park, well maintained and a nice separation between the big and small dog sides. The small dog side is kinda small, but theres a large spot to run on the bigger dog side. The agility structures are fun to run around and it's nice that there are restrooms very close by!
Nice park I'm there about 8 hrs a week. Wish there was more benches in the shade and a faucet to fill the dog bowls though.
A real nice place to walk your dog and enjoy nature I get much time with God In Prayer while I walk in this park
