Confirmed from Padua Avenue 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 runners say about Padua Avenue Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (150 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This a park in the city of Claremont. A nice place for a walk or do some stretching, the park have a soccer outdoor court too. Very safely, have restrooms for male and female. A is up north, close to the Claremont Loop.

★★★★★ — David , Oct 2020

Great place for runners, beginner or experienced. They have energi stations so you can stretch and exercise. The lap is half a mile, the center is made for soccer or other exercise. Really it's a great place.

★★★★★ — Rafael , Apr 2018

Nice place to fly my little electric powered model airplanes. Also beautiful scenery for a morning walk. Wish they had some picnic tables.

★★★★☆ — Ralph , Feb 2023

Clean bathrooms, great staging area for Mt. Baldy hikes. Rendevouz with friends prior to going up the mountain, plenty of parking.

★★★★★ — Douglas , Jul 2017

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.
