Confirmed from Orcutt Hills Open Space'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 2 sections offering trails for hiking and biking, plus a dog park and mountain-biking area.
What runners say about Orcutt Hills Open Space
“Great walk with great views you will love it!”
I'm two months into beginners mountain bike training. Free training being provided by Main Street Cycles!!! For the past 2 months we've trained on the East side & the Brodie Property of Orcutt Hills Community Park. This week we trained for the first time on West side.
Love it here!! We take the dogs here to both the park and the trails, the views are amazing, and we're losing weight at an incredible clip. Everyone we have met on the trails has been kind and courteous. Hooray for open space!
Great trails! You can see most of Santa Maria and all the way to Pismo. Best time of year is the spring.
Cool central coast landscape trail area. The Map at the trailhead shows the major trails but I found quite a few "social" trails ( trails made by regular folks exploring), and they are pretty cool. A bit confusing but it seems hard to get lost in here. Good place for day hikes and there is a dog park nearby as well.
