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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Beautiful off leash area.”

The sceneries there are amazing! A nice place to practice outdoor basketball, bird watching, runnig or simply jogging.

★★★★★ — Hani , Jul 2018

Went here for a soccer ⚽ game, it was awesome. Big open green, grassy fields, nice, new play structures, nice flush toilets and running water for washing hands and a drinking. Dogs 🐶 🐕 are allowed on their leashes. Picnic tables here and there and they also have a covered picnic area.

★★★★★ — Joy , May 2025

It's a good place to bring your fur baby. It's a big open grass field with a stream running around it. The dogs love checking out the water and other dogs. Just please make sure you clean up after your dog because it's also a soccer field for kids and no one wants to step in poop.

★★★★★ — Misfitramone , Jun 2021

Absolutely beautiful! I love to take my dog there and throw the Frisbee. The fields are off leash friendly so she has a lot of room to run, and there is a very scenic bike path to walk on. I would highly recommend this place.

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.
