Confirmed from Nautilus 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 with multiple playgrounds and baseball and soccer fields, plus grass areas to run around in.
What runners say about Nautilus Park
“The park is very well maintained, and very family oriented during the sports seasons.”
Its a big park! Bring your bikes and go play soccer and go on the jungle gym and go sledding down the hills and go walk your dog and go run laps and go shoot some hoops and .......and...........and........... :o)
Nice walking paths. Great playground for little ones. Big grass fields for playing. Soccer fields, baseball field and basketball courts. Parking. Garbage cans. Nice little park.
Nice park in the middle of Ocean Acres. Big open fields, soccer fields, baseball/softball, walking trail and a big playground.
There is NOT a skatepark here. Nice playground, outdoor fitness area and walk path though
Plan your run at Nautilus Park
The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
