Confirmed from Oxnard 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.
Neighborhood park with swings, a gazebo and a playground, along with trails for walking and hiking.
What runners say about Oxnard Park
“It's the day after a rainy night, but the park looks clean and has a nice path We saw some pretty big paw prints in the mud.”
Great for exploring. even tho they have a lot of mosquitoes in the summertime, I still enjoy my journey. I love to see abandoned things left behind in the past, just like the chimney that is on the trails. I swear that this chimney is here, just go take a look.😆
Small decent park. The kids enjoyed it. Has a nice walking trail that leds to an old fireplace. Would be nice to know a little history of the fireplace. Overall nice park to have a nice little walk.
The old chimney along the trail used to be the big draw here, but it was taken down, probably for safety reasons. The playground structure doesn't have a slide anymore, but they installed a climbing structure where it used to be. The hiking trails are pretty awesome, and it's a nice place to hang out and relax.
there's an outdoor pool there in the summer but other than that there isn't a whole lot more. A couple paths to walk your dogs but overall if you're looking for a quick little walk it's not a bad park at all

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says

- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
