Confirmed from Patwin 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.
Kid-friendly recreation space, featuring a pond and paved trails, as well as a playground.
What runners say about Patwin Park
“Nice clean safe family park next to bike trails no gangs and nice pick up games in basketball”
“Playground might have shade in morning but not most the day.”
For the purpose I was there, walking, Patwin Park is AWESOME! Smooth, paved trail with plenty of shade. Mostly flat; great for those who can't handle strenuous activity or are just starting out. Beautiful trail with a touching memorial "garden" with benches along the way. Enjoyable to all.
This will be the park my 5 kids remember for the rest of their lives, we go here often and use the bike trail. However I do wish it had restrooms.
It's nice it's big it's spacious there's a big tree in the middle of it with a basketball court and two playgrounds one for smaller kids. Sometimes there's a lot of ants in the sand to the right of the sidewalk path people walk on. It would be a good place to have a birthday party, play catch, soccer and football.
I like this park, I usually never go to parks until I started to play Pokemon Go. Big open field for soccer and basketball court. The parking is a bit small but still nice open field. There is a path to walk through the neighborhood.
