Confirmed from Parque 80'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 Parque 80

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (196 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Peaceful and clean 5 stars🌟”

You can do it all! Grew up going to the playgrounds, and during the summer the water park adjacent to it. You can have a family bbq, watch older men play bocci ball, and even watch an intense game of basketball at the courts. It has a track & football field which is also shared with the local high school.

★★★★★ — Jennifer , Aug 2019

It is not that big, but distribution is good, you have basquetball, tennis, volleyball, etc, . Walking around the little lake is also nice.

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.
