Confirmed from Old Poway Park & Railroad'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.
Bustling park offers a Saturday farmer’s market, vintage train rides, a museum & historic buildings.
What runners say about Old Poway Park & Railroad
Super Cute old railroad park in Poway. Doug friendly small train that goes around the park two times. Well, shaded, park very nice.Staff.Definitely recommend going back. Great for little kids
Wonderful place for a stroll taking in some history of the quaint town! Railroads, trains, trails, flowers and nature all in one. Also a very popular place for family portraits and such.
Took a walk around the park after eating at the Hamburger Factory. Never seen this before. Cute park! Well taken care of. It was a nice walk.
