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.
Park featuring baseball fields and playgrounds for younger children.
What runners say about Mountain View Park
“The fields are beautiful and well maintained, lots of parking right next to the fields, a snack bar, clean bathrooms, and a playground area for the little feral siblings.”

Lovely new park with 2 playground sets side by side, one geared toward the toddler crowd (1-5) and the other geared toward the older crowd (5-10). The ground is the springy packed foam that many new playgrounds are using these days. The gazebo with picnic benches and trashcans (and recycling cans!
Nice playground with rubber flooring. Two playgrounds, one for big kids and one for younger ones. One covered pavilion for picnicking. A+ and one of the best ones around. Arguably one of the best in the county.
Very nice park. It is actually connected to the other hillsborough park, van anne something, via that giant field. Has good playground for children and good walking areas.
Nice area to bring your kids, walk your dog, and just enjoy some fresh air. Pretty well maintained. They do have bathrooms as well as porta potties that are well maintained.
