Confirmed from Newhall Community 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.
Set around a creek, with trails, a dog run & picnic areas, plus bocce courts & ballfields.
What runners say about Newhall Community Park
“Couple of parking lots pretty big--free parking very nice Very clean well-maintained really nice park”
“It's a beautiful park nestled next to residential and restaurants.”
Nice and serene park for an evening walk. The park has more than enough parking space located in a good neighborhood. It also has a dog friendly lot where you can leave the dogs off leash. The pond and some areas can be cleaned.
The ground is a little wet this time of the year but the Creek is bursting. Lots of fresh air though. Recommend for a quiet walk or run.
I absolutely love this park, beautiful views, lots of animals, sweet people walking their dogs & soccer games always going on🔆 I love to walk/hike here, although I will say please be aware of the coyotes! There is plenty parking, bathrooms, many benches throughout the park, many trails and a dog park/area.
Nice park with an easy 1 mile path around the park to see lots of waterfowl and enough space to maintain social distancing. I wish that everyone would wear masks, but seems like a safe choice to spend an hour with my grandson.
