Confirmed from Oakmont 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.

What a great little park. Well there isn't a ton of parking in the park, there is plenty street parking. I did the trail loop which is about 2 and 1/2 mi with 300 ft of climbing. Wildflowers were amazing, there were a few bicycles that passed me that did not have bells so you need to look out.

I happened to find this Park. I’m just traveling through. It has many marked trails within this park. Beautiful views from different elevations overlooking canyons on the trails. Very enjoyable and quiet.

★★★★★ — K , Mar 2024

The park is a great gateway to a system of trails that you can use for running hiking or bike riding. At the entrance of the trail they even provide you with a bike bell for you to use while you use the trails. The park offers some parking for your vehicle it has picnic tables and trees.

★★★★☆ — Jorge , Mar 2022

This Park has numerous hiking and biking trails. It offers stunning views of the nearby valley, picnic area kept clean. We hike here every other week. One of my family's favorite.

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.
