Confirmed from Mountain View 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.

👟 good for all levels 2 mentions

“It's well maintained and there's lots to do for all ages.”

People Are Actually Out Exercising Or Getting Their Walk On And Don't Seem To Mind Black Folks On The Side... Very Kind People With Real HI's And Smiles...I Worked Hard For My Health At This Medium Style Park...The Upkeep Remains Consistent. If One Is Worried About Safety, Don't, It's Highly Patrolled.

★★★★☆ — C. , Jun 2017

This park features lots of playground equipment, sidewalk paths on the paremeter, basketball court, and ramadas. But the city needs to assess and repair the many faulty areas on the sidewalks. I tripped and could have really been hurt because they are not marked.

★★★★☆ — Paula , Jan 2018

Big park, lots of open and multi use space. Extensive walking paths, ramada for covered picnic tables. Impressive playground equipment and area for children. Maybe a neighborhood watch program would stop the damage to the ramada lights.

★★★★☆ — Salli , Aug 2019

Run/Jog/Walk. Watch the girl in Jetta drive around the park over and over, crying and talking at her phone. Why not, great atmosphere

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
