Confirmed from Moraga Commons 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.
Casual park featuring a playground and skate park, as well as trails and a water fountain.
What runners say about Moraga Commons Park
“Nice, large, clean, plenty of green, with basketball, volleyball and bocce ball courts, a stage, playgrounds and even small "water park" area with water spurting from the ground!”
“Beautiful park with plenty of parking most of the time.”
“) Swings for the kids, a full concrete skate park, some picnic tables in the shade and bocce + volley ball courts are a bonus.”
A great place to bring the kids and the walking trail is so nice. Sometimes you see something amazing!
I go for the disc golf, but a nice, large park all around. It's nice they have a water fountain and running water bathrooms. Great nine hole course, one of the oldest on the area, that allows you to get some cardio and steps in with all the hills. (Update October 2024.
New updated course in moraga. Cool course for beginners and definitely some technical shots. Not too hilly but there are some Hill shots. Recommend giving it a try.
Moraga Commons Park is a perfect weekend spot for kids! Clean, safe playground, lots of fun equipment, and plenty of space to run and play. Great for families.
